It is very hurtful, I remember not understanding why, how could people be so harsh when I asked for nothing? .. Bottom line is most people only think of themselves. Just an example for you - I has someone extremely close to me refuse to come to the funeral because someone they didn't like would probably be there (generally treated me awfully).Thank you so much! Your message means the world. I'm so sorry for your loss too. I'm still reeling from my brothers passing and the lack of friends who showed up for me. When something like this happens, it makes you reassess everything doesn't it? The time and energy you waste on people who are not worth even a fraction of it becomes so clear.
I'm now focused on my own physical and mental health, finishing my degree this year my daughter and close family. Life is a gift that can be taken anytime so it's best to focus on yourself and loved ones. The people who are meant to be in your life will stay. Sending you so much love back.
Also, as time goes on you will notice how people are almost slightly envious at how you pick yourself back up. I remember feeling like people were okay with me being 'broken'.
You will get through this, I promise you darling. You will never be the same version of yourself again & you will look at the world entirely differently & that is all okay. I am so pleased you have your daughter. If you ever need to speak, please reach out.
