    Staring at a bottle of whiskey wondering if being numb tonight would be worth the hangover tomorrow.

    I am sorry to hear about your loss. Leave the whiskey. You need to grieve and drinking won't help. Your problems will still be your problems tomorrow but then you could have the additional problems of a headache and puking.

    Logically, and rationally, I know you're right. I put it away and got some water instead. At least for now. I'm going to run later and see if physical exertion will have a similar effect.

    This is an emotional pain like I've never felt before... This is the first time I've lost anyone so close to me, and part of me is willing to risk the consequences because maybe even the hangover would function as a distraction.

    Submitted ours last night only to wake up to rejection alerts from turbo tax this morning. Today was a little stressful needless to say

    Aww :( hope they were easy fixes!

    It won't. Not tonight, tomorrow or next week. The pain is real and doesn't go away with alcohol or most other distractions. Hold your hubby and your baby close. Use the love from them and what you still do have as your distraction.

    This.

    100% this.

    I ran. And I cried. And now I'm on my front porch with water and music and a cat.

    My 5k is at the end of August. I'm going to cross that finish line with my grandfather's name on my shirt if I have to crawl.

    Laying in bed, snuggled up with my cat, feeling the effects of nyquil. So tired and not feeling well.

    If I sleep... Gnite all!

    Disappointing, the Tinder date turned out to be much bigger than I thought she was (she looked like she weighed as much as me) but instead of being the typical *kitten* I'm normally am, I was a gentleman and actually just continued with the date. Ended after an hour (we both agreed to go) and I deleted her number and unmatched her on Tinder. She didn't seem that engaged or interested anyway so the feeling's mutual. Maybe I looked better in my pictures or maybe she knew she was a catfish and knew she *kitten* up and knew I wouldn't find her attractive.

    I agree. We are meant to feel pain when we lose someone we love. Its better to let it run its course than to try to mask it and cause yourself even more heartache later.

    As someone who's tried drinking away the pain, it doesn't help. The sadness and loss might feel crushing right now, but it's best to take the time to grieve. Sorrow is like a deep wound, if left unaddressed for too long it starts to rot away at you. Don't let grief turn to bitterness; it's far harder to bounce back from that.

    Reach out to close friends and family (and your SO if you have one), and let them share your burden with you. It won't hurt any less, but the weight doesn't feel as heavy when it's shared. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
