    Default When Does The Hurting Stop?

    I am sitting here looking at my life without Leisa in it.... and when will I come to terms with this? When will I accept it? When will I have someone in my life to be happy with again? When does my life become what I want again?

    l
    brett to be honest with you, its always been a x2 factor with me. however long i was with a person and they went away/taken from me (parents when i was younger) it took two times as long as i was with them, and im still not over one of them,bro. only time will tell. its really how strong of a person you are. the memories will never fade but you will eventually move on, even if you are 80 love can come your way. no joke.

    Honestly Brett... They say that time heals all wounds. I'll tell you right now, it's a lie... I lost my father about 7 years ago... He was my best friend, I thought I accepted it until I went to the grave site a few weeks ago. It almost killed me thinking back and realizing he was gone... I know this isn't what you wanted to hear/read... But it does get a little easier over time, just never completely heals. You will be happy again man. But just remember, never try to replace the happiness you had before because you will always seem to find fault as why you can't be happy... Be happy with the times you had, and find a new happiness...

    its tough and you cant rush things. TIME is the only thing that will make it better.

    Cherish the memories you have, cause at the end of the day thats all we have left (cliche but true)

    What you have to look for is the new memories you are going to have. The new people you will meet. No one will ever replace leisa, but eventually you will have ultimate closure.

    The one thing I know is I will never want anyone to replace Leisa, No one will ever come close to her in my heart, even when/if I meet someone again and get serious with someone, Leisa's place in my heart will never be filled.

    It sjust so hard to be alone.... I am not a guy who deals well with being alone, I am happiest when I have someone in my life to share things with, share experiences an dmake memories with, and its hard when you dont have someone to do that with

    10 years with Leisa was the best 10 years of my life, now I hate my life

    You are right, Brett. Leisa was one of a kind.

    Like I told you on the phone last night before I got choked up and cried - it will never be the same... it takes time and LOTS of it. I walked away from love nearly 2 years ago, and still to this very day it hurts... similar situation, you know what I'm talking about.

    Right now, you need friends and family that support and love you.. You need to keep your head up and remember that Leisa is with you forever and always.

    Why? So a therapist can sit there and listen to him talk while they pretend to care and get paid for it? Then they are going to tell him it's natural and nothing is wrong, while he is out the money he spent on them. They MIGHT give him a line from a book they read while they were in school that they think will fix all problems, just because the book said it...

    Sorry, I've just had my fair share of therapist when my dad died... They actually made me look at the situation worse and have more hard feelings towards it...

    Fuck you if you think I make these threads for attention, ALOT of the people on here have been good friends of mine for years so I can be open with what I am feeling. Do not come in here talking shit you have no clue about.

    He lost is wife bozo. Have you no compassion or empathy? Seriously man, he's trying to cope with a loss in an place with familiar people, where he feels comfortable doing so. Jesus man, way to look like a heartless dick.

    You are one stupid pissant fuck.

    As for therapists, they are completley useless. Have some respect for yourself and spare yourself the trouble. Why would you take advice on life, from someone employed in a career that has the highest suicide rate? Those guys are a bunch of losers..seriously, who the heck makes a living out of hearing people BS and prescribing the same 3 pills all day and night.
    My friend went to a mind. doc. once..he's never been the same after wards. little high school girl ditched him, he was gonna heal..till he went to a psychiatrist..then he started cutting himself and pondering suicide. Idiots tried to load him up full of pills.

    Things will get better..they have too.

    Although I do agree with your first thought of hydroshutter being a "stupid pissant fuck," I disagree with saying "mind docs" fuck up people's minds. Do some research on some of those pills they prescribe... They didn't go to school for 6-10 yrs to make people contemplate suicide - that's just your friend's cries for help.... He obviously needs more attention.

    Also, I believe it's dentists that have the highest suicide rates.

    Yea, my friend took it pretty hard. But the cutting, etc. didn't start until after he went to a doctor. Thats when things just straight plumeted south. He's all better now, but still he's just not the same guy. Those pills made him straight up suicidal and when he stopped (against doctors wishes, after i convinced him that those pills were making him coo coo) all the self abuse stopped along with them and he returned to normal. I've done a little bit of research on those pills, and a lot of them have side effects..like increased thoughts of suicide and self inflicted pain being one of them. I dunno...I just can't with a clear concience tell anyone to go to a psychiatrist.

    bury your wife and see how that shit feels man. brett and leisa have been staples on this site for a long time. theres one joke with most forums that "you dont tell your significant other of the forums your on." but not only was their relationship good enough, they both became staples on this site long before you either joined, or were able to drive period.

    AND EVERY OG and other members got to know this couple either in person, or strictly through their constant involvement on this site, and they are the First couple of IA in my book. so for this man to go through what he just has, and post on here for us that are concerned with his welfare after the storm, he can post up 100% of threads in the WL and voice his feelings and it's on the level.

    seen it, and the 3 week one too. i understand whats real.

    but to somewhat answer your question, though rhetorical as it was, there will come a time when you'll be able to be able to think of her, take a deep breath while looking at either a sunrise/sunset with out a hurting heart.

    exactly the date, i can't give, but i know it happens you, and dracc will be able to breathe easier in time. but maintain, your bearings during this process brett, and i dont hand out 10digits randomly either!! keep that in mind...

    You can't rush the healing man, and coming to terms with grief is always a long process. I lost my dad five years ago, when I was in high school, and I literally just zoned out for about a year. I slept through all my classes, and started racing cars to get a rush, and to take my mind away from what was haunting me. But I learned quickly you can't run from it, and you can't hide from it.

    No matter how terrible or uncomfortable it is, death is very much a part of life. In time the shock and sadness will lessen, and you'll be able to fondly remember the memory of the one you lose, and the joy you felt while they were a part of your life. Spend time in the company of the people who care about you, and just take it one day at a time.

    I also did the therapy thing for about two years, although I had a pretty good time with it, and learned a lot from my doctor. I'm not going to knock shrinks, because some of them are very very good at what they do. I can give you a recommendation for a very good one if that's something you're interested in.

    That I know of for a fact...LOL

    But yeah anyways.... Some days are easier than others. Friday was 1 month that she has been gone so it hit me hard this weekend. Still to imagine her not being at my side or laying next to me at night, so hard to accept.

    no one wants to be alone, we are all looking for that "someone". But it takes time, thats the one thing you cant rush.

    Itll happen all in due time. Wounds heal, and a new life begins.
