Hi all. I would have just disappeared rather than post a "GBCN", but I didn't want those who've been concerned and supportive to be worried.
I really just don't belong here right now. I can respond and participate about random shit all day long, but let's be honest. My feelings are hurt and I'm kind of bitter about it. It probably doesn't make much sense for the widow to be on Married Life anyway.
I do try to get outside of my own grief. I just want you guys to know that. My life mostly revolves around my kids. Therapy is the only place at this point where I do really talk about things. This place was somewhere I posted, yes, knowing you all were strangers, but it helped to get things off my chest.
I think part of why some believed I was a catfish is that it's absolutely fucking terrifying to know that this can really happen. I'm pretty sure half my friends feel the same way, which is why they keep their distance now that I'm at 5 months out.
Anyway, I can't really apologize for talking about my grief. I have already apologized for not participating more in other threads. I do think it was cruel to criticize me for talking about this shit.
I may leave my name active in case I change my mind later when the grief and hurt feelings aren't so fresh. Not sure. A huge thank you to everyone who was truly supportive, and huge hugs to everyone who has experienced devastating losses of their own.
I'm so sorry for everything you've been through, and that your feelings have been hurt here. I don't think there was any malicious intent, but that doesn't make it hurt any less or make it less shitty. Please let us know how you're doing.
I'm sorry that what was meant as a safe place to get it all out has hurt you. I understand why you're choosing to leave and i truly hope you find another avenue to aid in your grieving. I'd happily listen if you ever want to pm me. ((Hugs))
I wish you'd never found that thread. I am sorry for the additional grief it caused you. I do hope you come back, I'm interested in hearing about your Etsy shop.

I understand your need to step away, but I really hope you check back in from time to time. I wish you nothing but the best, NB, and will continue to think positive thoughts for the happiness you deserve.
