I never knew how hard it was to lose someone until I experienced a loss firsthand.

People will say these things - drives me crazy.  I know they mean well, but...

1. She's in a better place.

2. God had plans for her.

3. It was her time.

Also, whenever I talk with anyone about this experience they ALWAYS change the subject to a death that they had experienced.  "Well, when my father died 4 years ago..."

Oh yes, the meaningless, bullshit, fucking platitudes of the naive. There are so many and that is what's so sad of our society. The first one that comes to mind as pissing me off the most is people saying, "He wouldn't want you to be so sad." Who the fuck are they to tell me what he would want. And even so, then maybe he shouldn't of fucking died on me. I only got 3 1/2 years, max 5 of even knowing him. I don't say that because I blame my love in any way, I don't, but it doesn't matter. I am the one here, left behind, to deal with the fucking aftermess. And so it feels incredibly insulting to be so invalidating of my feelings. I don't want to make my love sad but telling me to not be sad just makes it even worse. And I'm already in the nightmare from hell.

I hate that one, fucking stupid!

I agree. Especially with the ""He wouldn't want you to be so sad" line.  We don't know what he/she would want.  Either way, it really doesn't matter.  Being devastated is a natural reaction to this kind of loss.  We don't feel a certain way because someone wants us to feel that way.

And do these people believe that if there is an afterlife - and I think it's possible - they would be happy to see us cheerful after losing them?  That makes no sense.

rachel,
I feel exactly the same way.

Today, are you feeling better now, well suppose it is 8 weeks now!! I'm not Ill, I'm not going to ever feel better, this can't be cured with tablets. No I'm not feeling better, everyday I feel worse, reality is setting in and i am realising I am alone and will never be happy, safe or loved again.
