Dealing with the sudden loss of my marriage, death of my wife, loss of my career job, my home, my possessions, most of my money and all of my friends... all at once only to be told by most people... buy yourself a puppy.

Edit: Your situation would have been really bad btw

It is usually death.

Being homeless kinda. I’ve been staying at hotel and living in my truck since October. I have no address. Can’t get an apartment because they want 3 1/2 times the rent.

My mum dying. I was 15. Devastated me. Still affects me, to be honest.

Being faced, leaving school, with chronic shyness, lack of self-confidence, lack of friends.

Now things of the past.

My life has been blessed with unexpected gifts. Much simply changed while I was looking the other way. All totally unearned, everything [i]given[/i].

It is why my only prayer is "thank you".

Got 2:
Teaching a severely autistic person, and dealing with domestic violence.

Both broke my heart.

Very sad 🥺 ((hugs))

Pregnancy and then a traumatic birth. Leaving my baby in NICU and not taking her home for 4 weeks.

Man, that would tear me up. Hope you doing good.

For me, it was getting away from the lifestyle my family members kept trying to push me to. They wanted me be to a street thug, basically nothing. I got beat up alot as a kid from my cousins because I was "too soft." Blessed to have never been in jail and I'm very far away from the life they wanted me to have.

Damn. That must have been difficult.

Mine has been addiction. I've had several drug problems, alcohol being one of the worst.
