Just venting my sorrow

Wesley44

I.m a single guy in my 40s who has now lost my Mom, Dad and only brother. They were my entire world and now I find myself utterly and entirely alone. As a dude who likes both men and women, my family were the only ones who really supported and understood me. Especially my brother, I cannot still process the fact that he's gone, All the shared memories are all gone. I'm fucking devastated, yet the world sill continues to turn. I'm having a tough time finding my grip anymore.

Keep venting Wesley. Getting ^it^ into words and finding safe places to share those words has made a world of diff in processing my own grief.

Listening. . .

You are not alone.

I totally understand what you're going through. I lost my mom in 2014. Sept 2020, I lost my father and Jan 2021 I lost my boyfriend to a drug overdose. I am not who I once used to be. I won't lie, it is extremely difficult. I literally take each day one minute at a time. I've been in therapy since Jan 2020(for other reasons) and have continued to do so. I need validation and empathy for my feelings.
Just know you are not alone........

Wesley, I think if our mind let us fully feel all of that pain we wouldn't survive it. It's doing it's best to protect us... our hearts. This is so hard. So very painful. I've lost my oldest child, 2 sisters-in-law, my father-in-law and my little brother so far this year. It's too much. Like you I feel like I am on grief overload. I don't understand how it is possible to hurt so much and feel so numb at the same time. SMH Dealing with life issues like being Bi or non-binary on top of all of this is just too dang much. I am so very sorry for all this pain. I'm sorry you've lost so very much. I know you feel very alone right now, Wesley. Hard not to really. But I'm here. I can't change a thing in life for you but I can listen and be a heart with ears.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
