Feeling sad

[Kat63]

Right at the moment I’m feeling sad.

I miss my cat. I miss some of the friends I had where I used to live. I miss the way my boyfriend and I used to be, years ago when we were first together. (Yes, I know that that “new” feeling does not last forever. I understand that, and I’m not expecting us to be lovey-dovey all the time. I’m just having a feeling of sadness because I liked that when we had it, and I miss it.)

And underneath everything else, I think I’m still grieving for my mother.

So sorry you are missing things that you Love. But it is called life and things just happen. Good and bad. Hopefully you will feel better soon. j

Sorry you’re feeling sad Kat. I’m hopeful that time will help. Maybe you can find something that will rekindle some of your old lifestyle. Is there any special thing that you could do that would remind both of you of your past? A particular meal you could prepare? A movie you could watch? A place you could visit? Just to say ‘i’m Glad we’re back together’?

I'm sorry.

Oh Kat, I'm sorry you're feeling so sad. Our cats have such a special place in our hearts, and I can understand the grieving for your mum, I lost mine last year and I really miss her. Sending you big hugs. xx

I'm so sorry. I miss so much too. I miss having family. I miss having a friend. I miss my old body and good health. I miss having a home of our own and not living in a small room at my mils. I miss all my stuff that's been in storage for two years. I miss when my daughter was a baby and she listened and cuddled me.

I guess we have to learn to live in our new bodies, in our new lives. Everything changes so we have to adapt and find things we love today.

Hi Kat63,

Have you been to (or thought about) grief counseling? I wonder if missing your mom is what is making you feel so sad about the other areas of your life? Grief is so unpredictable. You never quite know when you are going to be affected by something. Yesterday, I was out fishing with my husband and he caught a fish! I was so excited, that my first thought was, “I need to call my Mom and tell her about his fish.” Then, I realized, she’s not there anymore. It was a sad moment, but I know that I will see her again some day. That is a real comfort to me.

Have you thought about listening to some good uplifting music? I love to put on some good Christain music and just sing! It makes me feel so much better.

Do you and your boyfriend have “date” nights? My husband and I still enjoy having a “special night” together. It makes it fun and keeps the romance going. I pray that you start to feel better. My thoughts are with you.
