[–] Master@sh.itjust.works 47 points 3 weeks ago (1 child) The loneliness as all of your loved ones die and your friends disappear. As a kid I wanted to live forever. As an adult I understand how that would be endless torchure. I lay here in an empty bed. This time last year I had a wife, 3 cats and a dog. Its been a brutal year to say the least. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] halfeatenpotato@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 weeks ago I've lost my dad, my brother, and most recently lost a good friend. I'm only 31, so I know what you mean. These have all been extremely painful and difficult to live through, but fuck, I can't imagine losing my life partner. I'm really sorry for your loss. Life really does take some of us for a ride. Hope you manage to find some peace and happiness eventually. permalink fedilink source parent
