Hey, Theo. Hope you're doing well. I'm calling you today to see if I can give
you a perspective
on something. My girlfriend of four years, she passed away five and a half
months ago.
It was not a surprise, but she had cancer. We thought that she had a little
more time.
Since then, I've spent most of my time doing nothing. I would visit her grade
every day
for months, which is good, I guess, for getting out of my apartment, but I
would just let the
time pass. Recently, I've started going back to school full-time and working
again. Honestly,
I feel like I'm just doing it because it's expected of me, you know, from
people around
me, my family, and my peers. So maybe some people just expect me to move
forward pretty
fast, but, you know, I don't want to, you know?
Well, thanks for the call, man. I'm sorry to hear about that. I can't even
imagine that
in the sense of losing a girlfriend or a partner, spouse. You know, I've lost
people that I've
loved, you know, uh, and it, yeah, it feels so impossible because I think it's
so many things
at once. It's like, you know, something is gone. And then the, the finality and
the, the, uh,
the viciousness of life, um, is so evident. And at the same time, the preciousness
of life
and, and how beautiful life is that it could even exist. All that happens at
the same time.
And then it's not even about us really, because they're the ones who has life
has ended. So
there's probably sometimes feelings of guilt that I had of like feeling bad.
That's I'd lost someone, you know, or not being able to separate the feelings
into, okay,
I'm in pain or I miss them, or, um, I'm just loathing in my own sadness. I'm
getting into self
pity. Like all those types of things happened. I remember for me at the same
time. And, uh,
and for one, it's just so much. And for two, it's hard to organize it and to
even start to think and
decide which feelings go, where I'd rather just sleep. I'd rather just hope
that this goes away.
I'd rather dream. I used to do that a lot. When my dad died, I would just try
and dream a lot
because I felt like if I was dreaming, maybe I had a chance to like see him or
that my feelings
could be different or I could be living a completely different experience. Um,
so I think a lot of it is normal and I bet it's hard to get back into the flow
of something when
you've lost like a partner, because you probably think a lot of your life as
having that partner
there with you. And I think prac, even if you're doing something, just even if
you don't feel it,
just have the practice of it until your feelings and your emotional wellness
catch up with your
actions. Cause one day they will, you know, and you'll be glad that you had
started doing these
things. Um, yeah, I don't really know what to say, man. Oh, just appreciate you
like just telling us
what's going on. Hmm. Maybe some people could call in actually and share things
that if you had some
experience with a loss of a loved one and I would say, uh, um, a wife let's
cause this is a man
calling, I believe. And so if you lost a wife or a girlfriend, um, you know, um,
and they passed away
and if you have just some, maybe some experience with that, if you could drop a
call on the voicemail
985-664-9503, we will come back to that on our next solo episode. I don't know
when it'll be,
it'll be within the next month, but we'll come back to that and see if we have
some answers. Maybe we
can get some suggestions from other people. Um, but yeah, man, I hate to even
leave you on this call.
Uh, but, um, yeah, life is just, sometimes it's just a lot of freaking pickles
on your chili,
isn't it? Um, love you, brother.
Thank you.
