Cigna just sent my dead wife, who succumbed to cancer last August, a DENIAL letter for a test to help diagnose her tumor markers. WTF is even going on with medical insurance companies? She left this world 6 months ago BECAUSE she couldn't get proper treatment. We don't hate these people enough.
You speak the truth and I appreciate it. I was in a very dark place last September. August was both the one year anniversary of my wife's passing and our wedding anniversary. Spending a lot of time in nature and camping has definitely helped me heal and I have a more positive outlook on the future.
I don't know what to do at this point. The pain of losing my wife last year to cancer is crippling me. I don't expect a bunch of random people on X to have the answers but does anyone have any suggestions for dealing with crippling grief? I don't even want to leave the house at this point.
I often tell people who ask how Iโm doing that unless you have experienced a loss that completely breaks your world, itโs almost impossible to understand the magnitude of grief. You can imagine it, sympathize with it, even try to understand it, but you cannot truly know it until you live through it.
Grief isnโt simply missing someone. Itโs waking up every day knowing the person you loved, the person you built your life around, is never coming back. You donโt just grieve the person. You grieve the life you had with them and the future you thought you would share.
@Ravensfell I just saw this, I'm so sorry. I know the pain too well and the hole in your heart caused by losing a loved pup. They are like family to people like us. I hope your son... I don't have the words. I hope he weathers the storm.
@Ravensfell I swear our timeline shifted in 2020 right before covid. People have become insanely weird, even zombie like and it's hard to understand why. Have people always been like this? Maybe, but the weirdness definitely seems to have accelerated since 2020.
While researching inflatable kayaks for an upcoming camping trip Gemini showed me this tidbit. My wife is no longer with us, but it still made me laugh hysterically. We tried tandem kayaking on a trip to Costa Rica once... ONCE.
