I found a counselor and started with them just yesterday. Thanks for checking in!

In response to April Sparkles.
I'm doing my best to be gentle on myself. It's definitely hard some days when there are things that need to be taken care of. I'm grateful my boss encouraged me to take leave, so I don't need to think about work at least for another 1.5 months at least.

Thank you for the tip. It's not something I would have thought to check with since my husband wasn't in hospice care. 💜

I tend to hold onto things (for better or worse) and he has been a part of half my life. I suspect I'll be much the same.

Aw thanks! I spent a good part of my morning in photos and pulled together a small collage, I greatly appreciate the offer though! 💜

In response to SLS StickFigure.
For me right now the hardest part is wanting space to grieve and not having time to do so. At the rec of my Dr and boss I put in for leave and will hopefully get 4-8 weeks in which I can pull my life together, find a new normal for me and son and have time to actually stop and feel.

Thank you. I'm usually really good with online search for resources, but I can't brain worth a darn this week. 💜

In response to Loki Variant.
I did reach out to his homeroom teacher, principal, and counselor. I learned his teacher lost a father as a teen and was okay with me sharing that with my son, in hopes he can talk to the teacher if needed, and I take comfort in knowing his teacher will be better able to support thru the shared exp.

In response to Katie Kadwell.
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. Family has been traveling us to help keep us surrounded, but we've had to go a few nights alone since our most direct supports are not in our city (but going elsewhere would take my son away from the school, city, and friends he knows)
05:09 PM - Jan 01, 2024
In response to Jane Ruth.
Wow, I'm so sorry you experienced this loss so young and with 3 Littles.

In response to Melody Pond (they/them).
Thank you. I'm looking into grief counseling for both me and my son. The hospital referred me to a group, but they called while I was at my husband's bedside on our last day together and I asked then to call back later in the week. Nothing so far. Hopefully this week after the holiday.

In response to Joe JustUs.
Thank you for the link. I'm looking into in person grief counseling as well, but this may be some help in the interim.
04:41 PM - Jan 01, 2024
In response to PS Annie.
I have requests for referrals in to both my doctor & my son's. When I asked after my dad passed, they referred me to a website with a massive dr list of all psych to find someone who was taking pts and also did grief. It was overwhelming even then so I hope they give a better resource this time.
04:06 PM - Jan 01, 2024
In response to f r e d k i p t e r.
Thank you. Yes, we're definitely different right now, I'm just completely wiped and want to sleep, he's keeping his mind busy with distraction, and has walked and gotten on the exercise bike a bit (I'm too drained to even distract myself)
04:02 PM - Jan 01, 2024
In response to Debbie Carlson.
I'm sorry for your loss. My father passed 2 years ago, so this same pain is still fresh for my mom. I know that she hates that we are sharing this experience so close in time, but having her open up this week about her own grief has helped.
08:54 PM - Dec 31, 2023
In response to Tracy Robinson.
Thank you, and I'm sorry for your loss. I know I can and will eventually push through, though it will be a painful journey. My biggest concern is steering my son through and trying not to uproot him (I have concerns abt affording our current place solo but am going to make every effort to)
01:39 PM - Dec 31, 2023
In response to April Sparkles.
Thank you. My mom had been reminding me of this too. It's hard to do when my mind is reeling but I'm definitely trying to just focus on the very next thing I need to do versus what I need to think about in a day, a week, a month. 💜

In response to Jinxy's staff.
Sorry for you loss. I also lost my dad 2 years ago to a long battle with cancer. It impacted my son far less as they weren't very close (esp. due to lockdown meaning he didn't see him much for a bit). With dad, I was able to prepare a bit...with my husband I was blindsided and still reeling.
09:42 AM - Dec 31, 2023
In response to April Sparkles.
Thank you. Yes, you've about nailed everything I'm feeling simultaneously. Right now I think the shock and disbelief is making processing the grief particularly difficult while I'm still having to push through and make burial plans in midst of all this.

In response to Terry Stinnett.
I've already reached out to his school, including the counselor to help keep an eye on him. We aren't religious, but I've opened a tab for the other resource to look at when I have the mental bandwidth. Thank you. 💜

I find this complaint weird, because I lurk a lot, and yet, even when I occasionally post, I'll get some likes and sometimes even comments. More engagement than elsewhere and I don't even know anyone here IRL.

I don't have expertise, but looked into it a bit when I saw the 3d cat video on a Japan billboard make the internet rounds. This video give a pretty good idea of how it works. It's really cool! https://youtu.be/6susbOKwn...

He seemed to be most active on bluesky, but I do wish he'd be more active over here as he's a delight to follow!

Haha, I know ~_^
I love my new dishwasher so much, it's impervious to snark. Before I rearranged the kitchen, the carry out tray was helpful for sure, though (my old dishwasher was literally taped together until it broke completely😅)!

Point taken - we can't, but my kitchen set up has the utensil drawer right next to the dishwasher, so in our case, it works well! 😁
06:35 AM - Oct 07, 2023
In response to Jamie Olson.
Wait...there are people who load their forks prong down? But then they go through the gaps in the utensil holder! (Pro move, get a dishwasher with a top shelf where you lay your utensils sideways - we had to get a new dishwasher last year and the extra shelf is AMAZING.)

I was trying to figure out how 1963 aligns with "mid-century China" and then realized 1963 would be the middle of *A* century...the language just made it feel/sound older. 🙃*sips coffee*

I agree, which is why I think they're going to be the "not Biden" crowd so long as there is any other contender.
