I can be fine all day but nights are incredibly fucking lonely. I’m working so hard not to give in to my usual bad coping mechanisms.
Never mind the small talk, take em out!!
I can relate to this. I have never had a loss like you but I know that if I loose my wife, the nights will be the worse. The rest of the day will be busy after a while and keep the thoughts on other things.I can be fine all day but nights are incredibly fucking lonely.

The old saying "It's better to have love and lost than never have loved at all" say it well. The alternative is worse even if it feels like shit now.I keep seeing these videos “I wish I’d never met you…” and I realize after everything I don’t feel that way. I have no regret about meeting, about dating, about being friends. I have no regrets about all the time, energy and love. I just wish it was different.
I feel this is a healthy outlook though, and forgive me if many disagree I will find out later I am sure, but; to be able to look on past relationships, or friendships and to be able to learn about yourself and people habits, is how one grows and becomes a better form of themselves. As long as that is the road taken and not becoming depressed because you don't have them.I keep seeing these videos “I wish I’d never met you…” and I realize after everything I don’t feel that way.

At one point during my divorce I was so afraid my ex was going to be mad at me and my therapist said “what’s the worst he’s gonna do? Divorce you?” I think that’s what got me through the divorce.
Elton John, I'm still standing seems fitting.At one point during my divorce I was so afraid my ex was going to be mad at me and my therapist said “what’s the worst he’s gonna do? Divorce you?” I think that’s what got me through the divorce.
A different situation had me holding a place in my life for someone…I finally asked myself “what’s the worst he can do? Not talk to you? He hasn’t talked to you in a year.” Made it a lot easier to stop holding a place.
I’m not afraid to be alone. I’m not afraid to be left or abandoned. Everything I was afraid of happened. I’m ok. I’m still here.
