I felt the same with my grandfather. Moved to Canada and had a child. Didn’t grieve as I needed. It’s a weird feeling, like they didn’t pass away, right? Try to make positive slafirmstiobs for yourself, walk in the sunshine. Out on happy music. Hope some of these tips help.

This is kind of weird, but I listened to a radio interview with Tyler, the “Hollywood Medium” who has that show on E!. He seems pretty legit and someone asked how you can tell if people who have passed are still around and/or communicating with you even if you don’t have a gift of being a medium. He said two ways. 1-they appear in your dreams. 2- if weird coincidences happen where you feel like it’s a sign from them, it probably is. It gave me comfort bc I was really close with my grandpa and after he passed, I’ve had some of these weird coincidences occur, especially at times when I really need it. Makes me feel like he’s still with me and watching over me and my family. Hugs to you.

Thanks everyone! I’m usually the positive one and bright and happy. I just needed someone else to tell me what I would have told someone else ❤️

Last week I called to make an appointment and they were verifying my information....”is (mom) still your emergency contact?” I pause and say yes . “Is (phone) still the best number to reach her at?” I say I have to go - I’ll call back later. Mom died 2 years ago. It hit like a wave.

I’m so sorry. That must have been so difficult. All the warmest wishes and positive vibes your way. ❤️

After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Hi Fishes,

I told the whole issue to my recruiter and she sent a confirmation mail stating that she will revise my joining date by 90 days without issue. Is there any chance they can revoke the offer? I have put down my papers already.
