I got a promotion at work that I couldn't be more excited about :) And I got an office, which is amazing! It's great to have my own space.  But I find myself sad not being able to share this news with my parents... I know I can, but it's really not the same.

Lisa - that's how I feel too! I feel like I'm a burden and hard to deal with because my emotions can be all over the place, and who wants to deal with that?! I don't even want to lol.

How long has it been since you lost them? I can still cry at some point every day and its been 3 years since "mom" died and 6 1/2 since "dad"...it's really sinking in that life will never be the same...that the Joy's will never be as Joyous...don't want to sound so depressing but this seems to be the only forum where you can really be truthful. My therapist told me sometimes you just have to "fake" being happy so your mind gets used to it....I honestly feel like I'm an expert at faking it because who wants to be around someone who is sad ALL of the time

That is what I keep trying to remember... it's hard to accept that's where it is at already.... that I don't have them here with me instead.  Thank you for your comment!!! :)

Good things always bring hints of sadness; you so badly wish that you could relish in the good with your missing loved one, however, they aren't there to share it with you...  It's hard but just know, they are with you in your heart and soul...  They will always be there will you for as long as your heart beats.

"Kali 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
