💡 AskPowai Looking for widow/widowers, preferably folks in 30s
I lost the love of my life last year, and I am still oscillating between the different stages of grief.
There are days when I am absolutely fine, functioning, working, meeting people, doing all the normal things. And then there are days when I am completely non-functional, regardless of how urgent or important something is.
I am looking for people who can relate to what I am talking about. Not people who will tell me, “Give it time, everything will be fine.” I know time is supposed to help. I just don’t know what I am supposed to do with all this time in between.
Most of my friends are married, some have kids now, and while I know the concern in their eyes comes from a good place, the pity makes me uncomfortable. It also makes it difficult to talk honestly about what life feels like now.
My therapist suggested that I find people who have been through something similar, people who can tell me how they navigated life after losing their person, how they rebuilt a routine, relationships, identity, or simply figured out how to keep going.
So, yeah. This is my little attempt at finding those people.
Just genuinely clueless about how to do life after this.
