@coda72 Sending warm hugs and sympathies to you. I hope you are taking care of yourself and hoping your memories help carry you through this painful time.
This helped me through losing my parents six weeks apart...especially when people thoughtlessly thought I had grieved for too long. Be well. Peace...
@PintoBean I hope you are well, happy and at peace.

@PintoBean I have prayed for you and for your family over the last few years. I hope you both know that there are people who pray and think of you often both for your comfort and that you will know that you are not alone.

@coda72 just in case it got buried in the thread, you can always find me through loupetroop. When you feel lonely, remember that you're in the thoughts and prayers of many from around the world. That's really awesome, isn't it?

@PintoBean I joined you in widowhood on Friday. These first days are so hard to navigate. I just feel like a zombie going through the motions of doing everything. Hope you’re doing well.

I'm so sorry for your loss @coda72. Know that you're in my prayers and sending you strength. And heart goes out to you @PintoBean

This holiday season was grueling. Being alone in a new city. Asshat coworkers and bosses. I watched a lot of netflix, prime, and hulu and bawled a lot. Why does everything have a widow or widower? Like, oh, this looks innocuous. "The Soundtrack". Lipsyncing, dancing, love stories... oh and a widower...

On my birthday, my boss asked me who the guy in the picture is (friend), and then said, "oh, I was gonna say, if it's your ex, that's unhealthy." Umm... my dead husband is not my EX husband.

And following that logic, if you all have deceased parents, siblings, etc, take those pics down.

That is the BS I deal with on top of the mess that is my job.

I cant quit my job. It sucks. I'm sending my resume to people directly. Hoping for a change...

It was heartbreaking having a birthday and knowing that it is more struggle to live through and praying that I get to go easily when it is my time to rest in peace. My husband doesnt have birthdays anymore.

I’m so sorry @PintoBean..Holidays are really horrible to go through when you’re missing a loved one. My youngest brother was buried on my birthday 30 years ago. It’s not the same as losing your husband. I only know a very tiny piece of how it feels. I would give you the biggest hug if you were here. It’s
the only thing I could think of to do because there are no words I could
say to may you feel better. ❤️

So sorry Pinto. The holidays are a trigger for many people.
It doesn’t help that you are unhappy in your job and that your cloddish coworkers say insensitive crap. I‘m also sending you a huge virtual hug!!

PB, I am sorry the holiday season was so rough for you. I hope how soon your job situation changes and hope that the next bunch of coworkers you find are more sensitive. If only people would think before they speak!
I am going to be positive and wish you a very happy 2020! Please never forget how far you have come and keep keepin' up the good fight!

Total bulls*t from your boss. Honestly, people and their comments. Fingers crossed something better manifests, and I'm sorry there are layers of suckage you're wading through.

Sorry about your holidays. If it’s any consolation, mine were pretty terrible too. Here’s hoping you can get a new job and get away from those awful people.

@PintoBean I think of you often. I’m so sorry life doesn’t seem to get any easier for you. I feel like you are never able to catch your breath. Praying for some peace for you, a wish for a fresh start working somewhere you love with kind, supportive people.

@PintoBean I am so sorry life is still so challenging and you cannot catch a break. You are doing the best you can under very difficult circumstances. In fact, what you are going through is one of the most difficult things in life. Losing your partner and making a whole new life while dealing with small minded and petty individuals. Hard at any age but especially now. However I know you can and will have better times.

You are in my thoughts often and I continue to send you good wishes and lots of virtual hugs. I know all your hard work and persistence will eventually pay off but it is taking way too long to do so. (((Hugs))) to you and lots and lots of good luck dust for happier times very soon.
