I know many people speak of life after loss as “Option B”. And I understand. I really understand and I can relate. But at the same time, I have begun to feel that I don’t want the life I have now to be an Option B. It’s true that I won’t ever NOT miss dad. But my husband, my children, myself as I am now, deserve to be an Option A. A new Option A, an alternate Option A. I can’t define it and I can’t make the pieces fit right now, but this is not necessary right now, yes? What I know is that I WILL take dad with me in this. And I WILL not leave behind the old me’s. I could not have this without them. I don’t know how this will be, but I know it will. And I will search for both little and big goals from now on, and I won’t let go of the really important goals, even if they seem objectively impossible. After all, if I really, really NEED something, then there should be a way of reaching it. I will go forward believing this. All of you, I understand you. I hug you all.

Sage advice for those wanting to rebuild. It's been over a year but I'm still not seeing any form of life ahead. Not abused, a bereaved mother. Your suggestions for building a new foundation are very helpful and not overwhelming. Thank you.

I read me and my mom’s text messages and still can’t believe she’s gone. 9 months today. I’m so lost without her.

This is so helpful. I am building my new self from scratch! I’ve been asking myself, “who am I without my partner”, Thank you!

I'm at a year and a half in my mother's grief. It's been a while since I did this exploration. Lost my job the end of April. Time to reevaluate while I search for work. I still want nothing for myself...only survival. Would like to change that to thriving, but have no idea how.

Too early for me to even think about this, but it's valuable info for the future. Thank you, Megan.

That’s so hard! I’m very sorry. I’m happy you’re watching these videos. I’m pretty sure that it will speed up the healing process if you stick with it. Maybe think of moving to a senior community. We just had to put my step mom in one because my Dad died 2 weeks ago. But it is, (excuse me) Bad ASS! I wish I could afford to live there! And there’s SO much to do!! Good luck to you sir! I will send some love and healing energy your way! 🙏

Waited too long on colonoscopy and it spread. Died at 52. Way too young and she loved all
