Losing someone changes you forever

People don't like being around somebody who is grieving. When you lose someone it's not just them you lose. I have realised that many friends have just not bothered with me and some family members just find me depressing to be around. I understand it, who wants you be around someone who just brings the mood down. Things that I cared about before just seem so unimportant, I'm finding it hard to do small talk and care about a dress that a friend wants to buy for instance. 

I feel like I can't be sad in front of people because people seem to think I should be 'over' it now even though it's only been 7 weeks. All I want to do is talk about him but people just try and change the conversation. Sometimes it so much easier when I'm on my own and can be miserable.

Losing someone you love changes you forever. It upsets me because I know I am not the same person that he fell in love with.

I just read your post, even though it has been up many months. I know EXACTLY how you feel. If you need to vent, I'm a good listener.

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
