About 30 mins ago over a past relationship.

You?

Earlier today when a friend confirmed her husband's brain tumour will be rapidly terminal.

Before that, it was yesterday at a film.

I'm a blubber.

A couple of days ago, I was singing along to a KT Tunstall song and it suddenly reminded me of my mum who passed away in her fifties. Don't know why but my own voice sounded a bit like hers I think and I cried

I'm not a crier, but my DP is bereaved today and I have cried several times.

Earlier this evening because I wanted some toast but I was too tired to make toast.

Which I understand is pathetic. Really though it was my first day back at work and I only have barely enough energy to get through the day and then collapse in a heap. Which is shit.

DH made some toast. Sadly he can't fix the chronic exhaustion.

Last week, Pink’s ‘When I Get There’ came up on Spotify. She wrote it about her Dad dying, and I lost mine last year.

Last night when I heard from a so called friend that my estrange family were celebrating a birthday in the family on luxury holiday abroad. Absolutely floored me and I don’t know why as have been estrange for years. My DB spent all day today being the lovely DB he is and cooking mine and DC dinner as DH working. But literally not sobbed like that since my DB and I were children. We are NC for reasons that I could never discuss and I am in a better place being NC abut this news just tipped me over. So called friend likes to gossip so will be reducing my friendship with her.

Good to limit your association with a shit stirrer who likes to upset you.

Thanks

Mine was last week when for some reason we were talking about child evacuees during WW2 and I started sobbing at the idea of all those parents waving their children goodbye.

I cried last week. Bit overwhelmed with parenthood and anxiety

This morning, was reading the thread about historical/past deaths

cstaff · 11/04/2023 23:03

A few hours ago. I was watching all kinds of stuff on yt when a video of a school choir sang a song to one of their teachers who had been diagnosed with cancer. Very emotional.

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 11/04/2023 23:05

Earlier on today at the news article of the lady who called the police on her son who had just murdered someone.

Longwhiskers · 11/04/2023 23:07

Not at all a frequent cryer but about four weekends ago when my son was being difficult and horrible. Felt so stressed and cried. Before that Christmas Day, again related to my son. It builds up from the stress over weeks/months and then comes bursting out!

TheVanguardSix · 11/04/2023 23:08

Today. Ordering flowers for my brother’s grave.

StreamingCervix · 11/04/2023 23:10

This afternoon at work, a song came on my playlist that’s about losing your grandmother, and a particular line just made my eyes all wet.

Grief is love with nowhere to go.

rumnraisinrocks · 11/04/2023 23:13

Last week because I still really miss my dog who died last year.

rockingbird · 11/04/2023 23:15

I woke Monday crying from yet another triggering dream. Ptsd is back.. yay

TomHanksIsFuckingAmazing · 11/04/2023 23:15

Saturday night watching Homeward Bound when Shadow limps out of the bushes 😭

bloodywhitecat · 11/04/2023 23:16

Cried properly? A year ago at DH's funeral.

I have needed to cry many times since but it never comes.

Thursa · 11/04/2023 23:17

A little while ago reading the “historical deaths” thread.

BCBird · 11/04/2023 23:17

This afternoon. My partner committed suicide 16 months ago. Still takes my breath away. Gone too soon.

Namexchange05 · 11/04/2023 23:19

Now, thinking about my life

murasaki · 11/04/2023 23:33

Yesterday while piano playing, was all good then it suddenly occurred to me to try runaway train by soul asylum. Totally caught me out.

When I found out my abusive stepfather had died in his 90s a few weeks back. It wasn't through sadness though, not even relief, it was so wierd to feel nothing but everything at the same time.

goingtotown · 11/04/2023 23:41

When I heard the news that Paul O'Grady had died.

RenoDakota · 11/04/2023 23:42

About two weeks ago. Watching the story on the news about the headteacher whose life was saved by a recently installed defibrillator. It was put in after a visit and presentation by the wonderful Mark King, whose son Oliver died when his heart stopped in a swimming lesson in 2011. Mr King has spent the last 11 years getting the machines put into schools after 12 year old Oliver died at school.

This afternoon when I was reading a book.
