Recently lost my grandma she passed away peacefully 3 weeks ago as of today I'm doing ok for the most part but I have had lots of up and downs through the last few weeks 💗💗💗
Yesterday I had went to the beach for the day and it was so lovely to just get away from everything for a while to recharge and distress for a while 💕💕💗💗💗💕💕🐚🌊🌊🌊🌊🐚🐚🐚💗💗🐚
Very cold rainy day though still lots of fun and adventures 💗💗💗💗💕💕💕💗💗💗🐠💕🐠💕🐠

@LovelyFrog8934 I am sorry to hear that Frog. It sounds like you recently lost your grandma and are experiencing a range of emotions. It's completely understandable to feel ups and downs after such a significant loss. It's great that you were able to take some time for yourself at the beach to recharge and distract yourself. Even on a cold and rainy day, it's clear that you found joy in the beauty around you.
@ASilentObserver Tbh i feel tired and not motivated at all ><
@jasishereforallofu It sounds like you're feeling quite drained and lacking motivation right now. That can be really tough to deal with. What's contributing to how you're feeling?
@ASilentObserver A lot of work that I have to do at home. 🏡 And I'm hardly finding the motivation to do it Obs 💜

Today I am feeling heartbroken, so very heartbroken. My friend through thick and thin, my friend for 50 years, since kindergarten my friend who was only diagnosed with cancer last week. The same damn cancer that took my mom 3 years ago. My friend called crying, it's worse than they thought, he is putting his affairs in order. Today there is a whole in my heart, today i am feeling angry, today I am feeling sad, today I am feeling heartbroken.
@Tikichick It must be incredibly difficult to hear this news about your long-time friend. Your friendship has spanned decades and now you are facing a devastating diagnosis together. The range of emotions you are experiencing is understandable - from heartbreak to anger to sadness. Can you tell me more about what you are feeling today?
@ASilentObserverI don't even know. I am dealing with so much more than that right now too. I'm somewhat numb. I am feeling very alone and like the rug has been pulled from under my feet
I just saw two new pictures of the woman I'm heartbroken over. A friend was in the Boston area and visited with her. Ouch
@WharfRat
I know that feeling, I'm so sorry.
