Boy, do I understand. I, too, have a sick mom. There are days when I want to give up because my life isn't working. No matter what I do it doesn't get better. Dealing with lingering stress and grief can start to feel like a way of life. Don't let it. Find a way to nurture yourself back to good emotional health.
Society must be really tough on a grieving man's soul. I see it with my boys. They don't receive near the compassion that I do. I have wonderful friends that give me big hugs, little gifts, encouraging words, etc. Outside of our family my boys don't receive anything. They go through each day hiding their feelings, but inside I know they're crying.
I remember from earlier posts that you once had a career you loved. Is it possible that your joy and self worth partly disappeared with your career and not just your marriage? You've had two major losses, but which one is really keeping you from recovery?
Please don't continue to sabotage your happiness with fb. It's not good for you so don't go back for more.
Tad, you are not going to be declared a loser and your story doesn't stop here. You're story is still being written. Keep turning the page. You never know what will happen next.
