Grief over a book

When you finish a long saga, and somehow feel like you are departing from really good friends... how do you cope with that? Just finished the fallen saga and... I'm not ready to say goodbye yet 😭 I still have to read fallen in love and unforgiven, but it's just not the same now that I know what… read more

Exhausted.

I am exhausted of everything. In life in the city, so much negativity but more on what was going on with my own life. I won't explain a lot but to keep it brief, I am tired of explaining everything to people in my life where I get questioned whether I had done something wrong or not instead of… read more

Godzilla minus zero

This movie.. is the best movie I have ever seen in a long time..this movie is NOT a Kaiju movie. This is an epic story of humanity , resilience , loss , grief , and triumph. I haven't actually cried in a long time watching a movie. I don't usually. This movie made me sob in its last ten minutes.… read more

Share Your Story

Has anyone done something that resulted in breaking your own heart due to your own dumb choices or decisions? I'll start with mine, because I'm bored and I'm sulking. I thought it was a good idea to talk to my ex as friends because we broke up a year ago around May, and I went through the 5 stages… read more

I hope you find the kind of love that makes you relax.

Be in love with someone who loves you as you do.I want a connection so strong that even on bad days we run to each other first. I want a commitment so sure that we speak to each other respectfully even when we're mad. I want our character to be stronger than our chemistry because chemistry won't… read more

Underneath all the sarcasm and overthinking

For me, being human is about wholeness. It's the ability to hold opposites at the same time: wisdom and foolishness, softness and strength, joy and grief. It's staying open even when it hurts. Being moved by beauty and touched by the suffering of others, understanding that we're responsible for… read more

Film #159 Grave of The Fireflies (1988)

Animation War Drama The best Ghibli film (for me) that captures the human madness, apathy, love, care, loss, pain, grief, absence, and death. Not your typical "feel good" animation film. My Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨

Women don't get sad post break-up nowadays

Men often process breakups later than women because of differences in emotional processing, social conditioning, and how the end of the relationship unfolds Pre-Breakup Grieving: Many women emotionally detach and process the deterioration of a relationship before officially ending it, or they… read more

Grief

Grief is such a powerful emotion that brings change in good and bad ways and depending if you have experience grief or what kind of grief shows power and vulnerability, I'm just fascinated by the concept and emotion of loss. Give me stories of your grief and how it changed you or someone you know

The Love We Carry

But what is grief, if not love persevering?

Wire wrapping

I recently took up wire wrapping. I'm currently going through grief while bad news after bad news is just hitting me lately. But once I was wire wrapping, I finally was able to just shut it all out and be. I'm very proud of how my first few works turned out even if they are flawed.

Why does grief hurt so much when we least expect it? I feel so alone right now

I had the worst nightmare of my life

I had a terrible nightmare last night, I mean I honestly couldn't have seen a worse dream than this. In the dream, I had eaten high-calorie foods. Anyway, the bad part of the dream isn't that; afterwards, while we were at our old house, I saw my brother giving my cat an injection. I was terrified,… read more

Ramblings of a madman

I give up. And I mean that from the deepest, darkest corners of my heart. Not on life. Not on myself. Not on the future I have spent so long dreaming of. This is not a final goodbye, nor is it a surrender to the darkness. It is a promise. A quiet vow to the person I have spent far too long… read more

November 5th 2009

As we remember the lives that were taken let's not forget about those who made the ultimate sacrifice and what all that entailed. For example, Staff Sergeant Alonzo Lunsford, U.S. Army (Retired), Purple Heart recipient. 🪖 🇺🇸 As we close in on Dec 3rd, let us also remember that it will mark the… (edited) read more

Support

If you're with a new partner- you're going through something rough, whether its grief, loss, mental health crisis, what do you respond with if your partner asks "how can I support you in this moment? What do you need from me?" (edited)

Unmoored

I've been circling the same thoughts for a couple weeks. When I was with my last boyfriend I compromised parts of myself because I thought that's what you did for another person. When we broke up I found the missing pieces, but I lost others. My ex added a lot to my life, and I was able to explore… read more

What do you think?

Bad days fog our mind to believe "this is it", But Good things shift your view to the other, It's funny how our emotions hijack our mind very often. If you get a hold on staying low in negativity and cherishing positivity, do you think we can recieve a state of acceptance to grief and joy?

Musings of a Homebrew god

My cat just passed away, I love her so much, we’ve been together for 6,5years.. 😿Rest In Peace beautiful soul

What If ?

What If Emotions Died, but Humanity Remained Alive? Imagine a world without love, where a child’s tears awaken no compassion, a mother’s heart feels no grief, and human suffering means nothing. What if emotions vanished, leaving only reason behind? We would discover that emotions are not… read more

What is grief

"Well, because it can't all be sorrow, can it? I've always been alone, so I don't feel the lack. It's all I've ever known. I've never experienced loss because I've never had a loved one to lose. *But what is grief, if not love persevering?*" -- Vision

Considerations Regarding Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead — "The Mexican Halloween")

In modern Mexican society, Día de los Muertos is regarded as one of the country's major annual celebrations. That being said, in large cities such as Mexico City and Cancún, many of the celebration's traditional rituals and customs have gradually faded, while elements of foreign celebrations have… read more

The inevitable course...

Nursing a terminally ill person who is dearest to you is like being on a ship that's heading straight on a collision course with a giant iceberg. You know it won't survive and will sink but you stay till the end. You want but can't change the direction. And then the inevitable happens. You go down… (edited) read more

Judging people

Everyone does it, it’s more a matter of when is it fair and when is it not fair, I think. You judge people poorly who decide to do something you believe is unnecessary and you judge people favorably when they go beyond what was expected of them. Judging someone who is overweight is usually wrong… read more

I respect the people who quietly rebuilt their lives after heartbreak, divorce, grief, financial stress, or depression and still remained kind. - ✍️

How do you handle grief?

If I Forget the Way Back

The burden of thought. The burden of speech. The burden of needing to pour oneself out one drop at a time, for fear of overflowing, or perhaps simply the burden of waking, and facing existence once more. There is a delicate line between sanity and madness, and I spend my days in relentless… read more

Pet grief

How was the way you have grieved the loss of a fur baby. Was it healthy or destructive. I found myself doing both. And just part of me left the day he left just feels empty at home and the routines your brain made with that little fur baby still tries to adjust to the absence

Daily hypothetical

If you could preserve one day of your life inside a snow globe and relive it by shaking it, which day would you keep? My answer A day in Brasil when I was a child, playing with that bubble saxophone under the afternoon sun with my father. Before I knew grief. Before I understood loss. Just that… read more

Loosing grief 💔 I rather become forever alone. Not just to feel that pain again.

The power of...

Did you know that in Slavic languages “Passion Friday” and the English Good Friday are not opposites — but two different ways of seeing the same event? At first glance, it sounds contradictory. In Eastern tradition — Passion: heavy, dark, painful. In English — Good: positive, even hopeful. But… read more

Running low

The pressure mounts, a heavy, pulling tide, With too many voices, and nowhere to hide. Between the grief I carry and the love I pour, My spirit is tired, my battery needs more. If I step away, into the quiet and the grey, Don't ask me for words I don't have the energy to say. Support me in silence,… read more

A blueprint of Tuesdays

The future we built was a house made of light, A blueprint of Tuesdays, of holding the night, Where I was a fixture, a branch on the tree, Beside your own mother, where your daughter met me. I had a seat at the table, a place in the hall, And in less than an hour, no shelter at all. This is the… read more
