My situation is different. I lost the love of my life and felt lost and alone. Even with the support of good friends and family.

But that said, there’s alot of philosophy and other things to help. Aeschylus said “Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.” Another relevant quote is that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best is today.

You won’t get what you wanted, but live in the present and enjoy what you can have. I’d give anything to get my wife back, but that’s not reality. The next best thing to live today and find joy.




Sorry for you loss and thanks for the advice. I like the Aeschylus quote, it‘s a good one.


sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing. At times I think I don't have the strength to go on after something like this happens to me. But so happy that you are able to still find joy.


I feel like living today is the only way to make it through this life. However long or short it may be.
