Anyone know about grief groups in NYC? My ex hanged herself recently and I’m devastated. Thanks

I’m going to do that. I just don’t want any pills or anything. (I hope that doesn’t sound strange to you.) Thanks for the advice.

That is awful, I am so sorry that happened. 💜💜💜 No clue on grief groups in NYC, just lots of love coming your way. Keep reaching out, you will get through this. My friend’s husband killed himself by hanging 20 years ago. She had a young son at the time and got through it by accepting support from everyone who offered it. Good for you for knowing you need support, I hope you find it soon. Hugs. 💜💜💜

Hey, thanks a lot. I spent a lot of time talking to my sponsor last night at a mtg about it. I shared about it at mtgs. It’s so hard to talk about and not cry. Shit, just typing this, my eyes are welling up. Thank you!

Google bereavement groups in your city. They are likely connected to hospices. A therapist can also be an outlet for grief.

Pastors can be very good with these matters. CS lewis wrote a book after losing his wife “a grief observed” i hear it is helpful. I am so sorry for your loss.

Accenture India Employees - (1) How much does job location matter in getting good projects for a fresher(ASE- Lvl 12) ?

I am currently in Entry Level Pool-Bangalore and will be 'Soft Locked' to Bench in a month's time. I wish to change my job location to either Indore in MP(top priority) or to Pune(MH).

(2) Should I wait till I get a project in Bangalore and then change location only if WFH gets over (if that is possible) or change it right now ?
(3) Any idea till when WFH will last? Thanks 🙏

I’ve slowly started drinking less and less. And the less I’m drinking the more I realize just how much of my time revolved around alcohol. From going to get it, to drinking it to fighting hangovers. Now I realize I need something to fill all that time with. Especially now that I’m not spending all day saturday and sunday deathly hungover. I go for walks and run errands…but in a shock to me…there’s still a lot of time left. How did you start spending your time once you stopped drinking?

4 years sober today. So much to reflect on, not least of which how important it is to “get comfortable getting uncomfortable”. In my experience, it’s truly the only way forward.

Sending strength to you all 🖤
