I Have Something to Say

It's now been just over 6 months since my wife passed away. I've tried hard to start rebuilding my life but feel like a failure all the time. This morning I woke up and decided I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself. One fact in life is that if you don't do something for yourself, nobody else will do it. One can't complain about how nobody cares for them if they don't care for themselves. I need to start looking inward for the strength to carry on instead of wishing someone will help me. Time for me to grow up and accept life how it is and do the best with what I have.

I'm very sorry to hear this, how very hard. I had not seen your posts for quite a while. I completely agree, taking care of yourself is important! Self-pity sucks. All you need is the thoughts and then to take the actions. You can do it!

Your level of self-awareness shows that you are ready to move on in a positive direction. You have much life still to live. Best of luck, and much happiness, to you in your journey.

You sound like a man with a plan. Or at least the start of one. It's going on for a decade since I lost the love of my life but you're right, it's up to us what we do about it. The thing that helped me most was realising that she'll always be alive in my heart, and that it's up to me whether I choose to celebrate ever meeting her in the first place, or to mourn the fact that her body was spent before I was ready to lose her. I choose to treasure the memories rather than mourn the loss.

I’m glad you realized this, you should live your life to the fullest. Life is short, I am trying to be happy myself. Of course you will have bad days but try to enjoy the better days. Good luck.

Grief is something we all do in our own time, we have no time limit and it doesn't expire. I wish you all the best in your recovery.
