How do you deal with loss or grieving?

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

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

Met but not Destined

"Thats why we met this early because we won't be together when we get older. " 🥹 Maybe some people come into our lives early because life knows we won't have forever with them. And perhaps that's what makes loving them so bittersweet; we meet them before we fully understand how precious time… read more

Grieving

A mother’s love doesn't end when she leaves us—it lives on in the stories we tell and the love we share. Thinking of you always.

Scariest part of grieving...

For me, it's coming home and realizing they aren't there anymore...

Grieving

I'd rather walk alone than lose my self in another soul.. How to play this apps?

Daily hypothetical

If your reflection could walk out of the mirror once a year and tell you one truth you’ve been avoiding, what do you think it would say? My answer It would probably say, “You're still grieving things you pretend you’ve let go of.” And it wouldn’t let me look away until I nodded.

No one talks about how hard it is to show up as the best version of yourself while being mistreated. How hard it is to stay soft when life keeps giving you reasons to harden. How hard it is to communicate calmly when you’re constantly being misunderstood. How hard it is to choose grace when… read more

The danger of poving a possibility

Maybe what keeps us attached to someone isn’t who they were, but who we believed they could become. We interpret silences, give meaning to gestures, fill in the empty spaces, and build entire futures from things that perhaps never meant the same to the other person and without realizing it, we… read more

Grieving in nature

Been sitting here remembering the last time I was grieving this deeply and I remembered wandering through neighborhoods in utah for hours and hours on end, listening to music, thinking deeply, crying, and being brave enough to face feelings so deep it felt like it was gonna kill me. I wanted to… read more

A Stranger Beneath My Skin

I was given a body before I was ever asked what shape my soul preferred. They called it mine the day I learned to breathe, yet every mirror introduced me to someone else. Not ugly. Not broken. Just... wrong. Like a song played in the wrong key, recognizable enough that everyone insists it's… read more

The Night Everything Slowed Down 🍃

It was two in the morning, and the city seemed to be breathing more slowly than usual. I sat by a floor-to-ceiling glass window on the second floor of a quiet brewery, a half-finished glass of wine resting between my hands. Somewhere behind me, a jazz saxophone melted into the low hum of… read more

Facts ✅️

They said: Why is it important to be kind? I said: Because we cross paths with hundreds of people everyday, and we never really know what they're going through. Some maybe grieving, exhausted, lonely, or barely holding themselve together, they don't ware the signs to say that "im struggling".… read more

they asked, "why is it important to be kind?" I said,"because you never know who's grieving, exhausted, or barely holding on. your kindness might be the only softness they feel today"

Why I Left Nursing⁶

I left nursing because, over time, the work became emotionally and physically overwhelming for me. Nursing is a profession that requires you to give so much of yourself. You don't simply care for someone's illness. You care for the whole person—their body, their emotions, their fears, their… (edited) read more

A little heaven in Sumatra

This is an old video that I have but keeps making me very excited. Let me introduce to you, Lake Toba from North Sumatra. I've been here not for holiday, but had work to do (you can see all the cages in the lake, that's fish farming). That's my very first time to be in Haranggaol. And I know I… read more

It’s all Jeremy Bearimy baby!!

Healing, grieving, surviving, nothing is linear. 💛

Walk-Away Wife Syndrome

​The Fighting Phase: She is vocal, she complains, and she asks for change. This is actually a sign of attachment. She still believes the relationship can be fixed. ​The Silence Phase: When she stops complaining, the partner often thinks things are "better." In reality, she has emotionally… read more

Mirror

This video is from Chase Hughes Official on YouTube. His videos are great. I have no idea but I'm seeing the synchronicity and feeling to share. Especially when I was yapping about anger just a few days ago and then was resonating with the message of alleviating suffering. 2 questions to reflect… read more

Grieving a Relationship

I wrote a whole essay here at first, but I think the broad strokes are already oversharing. Someone I love isn't with me anymore, and while that might be for the best, it hurts, and that's okay. Sitting with that pain honours it more than distracting myself from it, especially given that part… read more

She learned how to carry sorrow the same way she carries responsibility. She doesn’t talk about it because life doesn’t pause when you’re grieving. So she shows up and keeps going. And somewhere along the way, she mourns quietly, hoping one day the heaviness won’t follow her into every room.

I really was excited for this tattoo

But…for some reason, it has lost it’s meaning. Someone told me, “you can never be with anyone.” And, maybe, that is what this tattoo stood for. But last night, I had a dream, which changed things. Suddenly, the tattoo lost its meaning. And so, the tattoo session is cancelled, indefinitely. I… read more

I miss the version of me who laughed without pretending, who made plans without wondering if I'd have enough strength to show up. Sometimes it feels like I'm grieving someone who is still alive, and that someone is me.

Grieving and distraught....🙃🤪😏

A Twisted Revalation

I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive myself for this but I miss my rage. It really shows me the depths I've managed to sink to now and there is no way I could ever work to reclaim it or rebuild it. I cannot escape the fact that I'm grieving it's loss in exactly the same way that I grieve… read more

Self deprecating humor is the best humor

The best part about getting reality-checked by AI is hearing truths I actually need to hear before making a social fool of myself. Case in point, its latest gem: ''Your analytical point regarding cultural drift and fossilization is historically accurate. However, applying this academic critique… read more

A little self discovery

I was bored one day and saw a poetry prompt on facebook. It was to create a 4 line poem based on this photo below. I got immersed in it and ended up writing 4 stanzas... Here it is ↓ A MOURNING FELLOW A fellow among the graves, Grieving for his love long gone. Her presence he craves, In where… read more

Why betrayal creates an identity crisis?

People often say betrayal is painful because you lose someone you love. I think it's more than that. Betrayal makes you question your own judgment. Because suddenly, you're replaying conversations, looking for missed signs, and wondering, "How did I not see it?" You're not just grieving the… read more

If heaven is near🥺

For everyone who's been grieving until now, Hope today gives you a little more peace than yesterday. The truth is we don't heal, we just learn to live with it.💗

Ignorance is bliss

I truly felt at home with you as if, for once in my wandering life, I had found a place where I belonged. Your heart became my shelter, my solace, my imagined future. And now I almost wish I had been born blind or deaf, so I could’ve been spared the cruel clarity of seeing that your heart never… read more
