It's crazy how curated the news environment is. Most people really live in a different reality.
When the love of my life died a few weeks ago (sudden catastrophic health thing in an otherwise incredibly healthy person, pureblood BTW), I did a bit on online digging on how to handle grief of a spouse's sudden death.
Easily 1/3 of the online pieces that talked about "how to re-establish daily routines" suggested --going to sleep with the TV or Palm Slab on --going to sleep with the TV or Palm Slab tuned to NEWS
Familiar faces and voices.
I was so horrified I haven't looked up anything online about grief since. And these sites were written by psychologists, counselors, ministers, "mental health professionals," etc., who were literally telling hurting, aching, lost, disoriented people...to replace their spouse with the f'in godbox and its Current Events Horror Porn.
Oh no! I'm so sorry that you lost your beloved wife...💔🙏🤍
Only you know what's right for you. If you have interests in books, music, art, gardening etc. soothe your soul with these when you are ready.
I believe you are in shock and need time to process your loss. Reading the book of Psalms is comforting as well as talking to God. He is the Ultimate Healer.
If you don't have a pet you might consider getting one. You could try fostering to see if it's right for you. Pets are wonderful company and God created them to be our companions.
Finally, talk to your wife. I believe she's your special Angel watching over you.
Blessings Rainforest... you'll be in my prayers.
I do understand the concept in principle. Going here a lot may as well act as a surrogate since you're seeing and interacting with a lot of the same users every day. Getting a pet could also help but it'll obviously never be the same. Sorry for your loss fren.
I am sorry for your loss.
RainforestFrog...That is EXACTLY what I did...I would lay on the sofa with the TV on and go to sleep and eventually after a few months (3-4) that I was able to sleep in the bedroom...NOTE: I DID NOT WATCH TV DURING THE DAY!!!
It takes a while to get over but one thing for sure, you will come out the other side and every once in awhile, you will be walking through the house or out and about and it will hit you, I always stopped, let the feeling come, cried if I had too, and move on...What Joys1Daughter says below is true...Talk to her!!!!!!!
Not for long.
