Have you ever been able to outrun the pain of having lost the most important person in your life?

It’s been 3 years since I lost her to Covid and I think about her every day.

mourning for a lost child can be painful, but comfort yourself about ideas of destiny.

usualy a month is reasonable for mourning. if you still feel sad after a month, try getting a psychologist to deal with your strong emotions.

it is common to remember and miss a dead relative but also remembered them keeps them with you.

A month? Are you kidding? A month is almost no time.
You cannot even put a time frame on how long you grieve the most important person in your life.
I'd say it might take until you yourself pass away and cannot feel the pain of your loss.
Don't try to outrun it.
It is what it is with no time limit.

My boyfriend died suddenly 6 months ago and sometimes I don't want to be here without him. I want to be with him.
I have a son that needs me, so I have to stay here with the pain. I still cry and miss him.

Just today I was flipping through the pages I have on my clipboard looking for someone's phone number. And there it was. A piece of paper from him wishing me a Happy Birthday in real big letter and the date. It was written the month before he died and I just saw it for the first time today. ❤️💕

Thanks a lot for sharing your tragic story. I’m sorry you lost him. What you’ve told me today is something no therapist has ever said, at least not the way you said it. Peace be with you.

I didn't outrun it... it trampled me over a few times, and then I just survived it somehow

Fortunately I've never been in such situation.

Nah, that shit doesn't go away. Accepting that can help.
