Am I the only self-hater here?
3 Replies
I hate myself. It is something that I believe grew from repeated child abuse (usually at female hands). It is something that became a practiced part of my life and built up to self-injurious behavior…Continue

- 43 year old male Englishman living in New York State for the last 14 years.
- About my Loss:
- My wife of 14 years died Jun 30th 2011. She had been chronically ill with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis since about a year before I met her. As life progressed she became sicker, developing nerve conditions, COPD and rheumatoid lung, diabetes and several other conditions. Given this her death was not a surprise, but for all that people think that makes it easier it doesn't.

"is griefshare a website like this?"

I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More

Hi Stephen,
I feel for and with you now. My brother died this past March, and it was not a surprise either. It perhaps lessens the traumatic shock aspect of sudden deaths, but all the sadness, heaviness, lack of energy for life, are the same, I think.
I hope you can find a way to make it through these next days, weeks, months, etc. I'm one that believes that "time" itself, doesn't do the trick. I think some ritualized grieving practices helps, whatever they may be for you. My brother's ashes are in another country, and I have no cemetery to visit, but I do other things - listen to music, look at his pictures, just take out some time to be with him again. This helps me.
All the best to you at this sad time of your life.
Susan
