Worst 13 months of my life
Posted on 10/31/25 at 7:56 pm

So had a pretty rough year from June of last year to August of this year.
Last June my dog died that had been in the family for years. She was old and passed one day when I was at work. Telling the kids and then having to bury her was pretty rough.
I was in a motorcycle accident a few days later from which I'm still having surgery. Took 6 months to even get back to functioning. I'm a runner and due to damage to my foot I was unable to run for months. Really only getting back going at the beginning of this summer.
Then as I'm trying to recover my fiance broke things off this year at the end of May. Which was devastating as we had been through a lot and I was planning to be married within 6 more months.
Shortly thereafter my mom, who was living with me and had dementia, passed away only an hour before my birthday. Don't even think Ive begun to cope with her passing. That its really hit me She was a different person by the time she passed. Being there for her, taking care of her was a financial and emotional struggle.
And then I had rotator cuff surgery at the end of August to repair more damage from the wreck. Which is months of pain if you don't know.
Let me tell you it's been a Hella ride of pain and emotions.
Any of yall been through a year of pain and loss? Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Damn baw, prayers to you. Have you talked to anyone?
That sucks your ex left when you were hurt.
When you’re down, there’s only one way to go from here

Not to that extent, but I can think of 2 years where they were overall bad.

Sounds like you need to get some counseling baw. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or reach out. One thing about this site is there’s plenty of people willing to help when life gets serious.
Talking about football coaches is fun and all, but this is where TD really has value.

Life is like the seasons. There is spring, summer, fall, and winter.
You had a rough winter.
You survived.
Time to shake off the snow, and start fresh. That’s what make life special. You can make tomorrow what you want it to be.
Go make it great.

Illness and job loss are two of the prime times women choose to leave.

Yeah I've posted about it. Antidepressants and therapy probably saved my life. For a while I was waking up mornings disappointed I didn't die in my sleep. I'm still not "happy," whatever that is, and probably never will be. But I'm functional most days, which is all I ask.

Yes, my friend. Took me several years to recover. You never fully get over it and you are changed forever. Stay true to your faith in Christ and become closer to Him in this time. He will carry you and lead you to bright days ahead

This place does help...all the jokes and characters on here helps me forget for a few.
Hoping to recover physically enough that I can get back to running and riding with my friends. Get out of the fog.

Buddy, I lost my dad, step-dad and best friend all within a 16 months... 3 most impactful people in my life... 3 most influential people in my life... all within 1 year and 4 month timespan.... this was 2 years ago and im still trying to recover
It slowly get better, it slowly gets easier, but damn if I don't wish things were different... enjoy what you got today, because tomorrow it might not be there

Stop riding motorcycles. Too dangerous.
Go start meeting other women ASAP. I always found a better woman after a breakup.
People and pets die. Take joy in the fact that they were in your life and you in theirs.
Hope this cheers you up:

I haven't seen your posts but glad you got some help since it seems to have helped a bit. I'm just taking it day by day. I doubt I'll ever get to the point where I trust someone again enough to want to marry them.

I’ll try to give you a glass half full view to your losses
This sucks but she was old and had a good life. Best fix is to get a puppy
At least you’re alive and sounds like you’ll make a full or close to full recovery
Sucks but you probably dodged a bullet. A marriage worthy woman will be with you no matter the struggles
It’s tough losing a parent but this sounds like a blessing for both her and you. Dementia sucks, she had little quality of life and was a burden on you while you had a lot on your plate. She is in a better place now,
Keep your head up. The good news is it can only get better

This is absolutely soul crushing. So sorry to hear this.

Wishing you the best my man. Keep your head up and ask for help if you can’t.

I’m so sorry you have been through so much loss and pain. I lost my son last year and that pain alone is like being in a dark hole. It’s so final. It hurts deeply. My faith tells me God’s plan is perfect. Seven months later I fell on my tile floor. I pullled the oblique muscles in my back.. It was so painful that all I could do was sit in my recliner. There (in my recliner) I fell into a deep depression. I finally started grief therapy and will start physical therapy next week. Things are better emotionally, but I will never get over losing him. Wish I could offer you advice other than talk to someone.
