    Handwriting - My wife passed away suddenly after giving birth to our daughter five years ago. My parents and sisters have spent the last four years telling me to move on. I cannot.

    Font - You know how amputees get phantom pain in their missing limbs. It's like that. Except it's everything that's missing. I took my daughter to a street performers festival in my city and my heart ached because I went to buy some kettle corn. I hate kettle corn. My wife loved it. I was buying something I hate for someone who isn't there.

    Font - My mother did the cruelest thing I can imagine. She told my daughter that she should ask for a new mommy for her birthday. I wasn't polite in dealing with that. I told her that if her or my sisters ever tried to bring a woman into my life I would leave the city with my daughter and they would never see us again.

    Font - trappergraves • 10h ΝΤΑ Excuse me, "the inevitable"? So you're just supposed to "get over it" and be fine? Grief doesn't work that way. My darling's been dead for 5 years and it's every bit as awful as it was. What your family is doing is simply awful. I had friends do that, and I blocked every single one. Your grief is your own, and there's no timetable. I'm so sorry you lost your love. Please take care. Reply 6k ...

It doesn't matter if "they mean well" or "just want you to be happy" because shocker - it's not up to them! Everyone grieves differently and at their own pace. Some people will date soon after losing their spouse, and some never do. None of them are wrong, and neither are you. I'm really sorry for your loss and all you and your daug

Your reaction is correct. Hard, straightforward, and direct! You just let them all know how serious you feel about this, and by going against your wishes on this issue, they better be ready for a serious response. Reply ... 57

    Font - International-Fee255 10h Asshole Enthusiast [5] NTA Grief is a funny thing. It affects people in so many different ways. Your family is probably done with watching you grieve and they believe a new partner will wipe all the pain away... But we know better don't we? You can't replace those feelings your wife gave you, nobody will give you the same looks she did, or warm your heart the way she did, and that's ok. You are allowed to say there's no room in your heart for anybody else. And you
