Pennies from heaven or no?

I use to tell this story before my husband died.

I was visiting a friend and her young sons parakeet passed away while we were there. He was so upset. I told him a story about "pennies from heaven" and every time you find a penny it's from your parakeet who has joined your grandpa in heaven. His little face lit up and he said "they're togther?"

Ugh

It's bad enough I have to stay on this earth after my husband is gone......then I think I found someone again and he takes his own life.
It just seems that men over 40 and after divorce just don't want a relationship and they're perfectly comfortable leading women on to believe they do just to get what they want.

Movies about grief that actually understand loss — any recommendations?

Hi everyone  I’m new here and honestly never thought I’d need a space like this, but here I am. I’ve been living with grief for a while now, and some days it’s quiet, some days it hits out of nowhere.Lately I’ve been watching movies about loss and grief - not to make myself sad on purpose, but to feel understood. Sometimes seeing grief on screen helps when it’s hard to explain what’s going on inside. The problem is that many “grief movie lists” online feel very surface-level or overly dramatic,…See More
