I'm trying to teach myself how to love me again. Losing someone you were ready to spend forever with takes a huge toll on your confidence especially when they were your confidence builder. My hubby constantly made me feel beautiful and sexy. Whether it was the way he looked at me or his little "damn baby" comments. March 2nd will be 6 months since hes been gone and Im slowly starting to build it back up. I want to love me the way he loved me. I want to be happy the way he'd want me to be.
I am proud of you! I lost the true love of my life almost 5 years ago. I have still not gotten to the place you are. You should be really proud of yourself! The self motivation that it takes it a special characteristic that you clearly have. I am sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry you're on the same journey. This shit is definitely not easy. I find some days can be easier than others. Like yesterday I was okay but today the empty feeling took over. I've been going to therapy since about a month after his death and its helped so much. I don't feel guilty for getting angry with him sometimes because I now know its normal. And when I feel like crying I don't hold it back anymore. I know he'd want me to be happy and move on. And taking a step to learning to love myself is the best I can do right now. Baby steps.
