I dont think im worth staying around any more. im more of a burden on my friends and family at this point after my mom died and my wife left me.
Hi Friend,
Thank you for sharing and for opening up to us about how you are feeling. I’m sorry to hear that you are feeling this way and for the loss of your mother and relationship. You are definitely going through a lot and I can understand how sometimes life’s events can make you feel weighed down. I’m not sure of all the details, and I understand why it is that you can feel as if you are burden on the ones you love. There was a time where I have felt this way as well. So I can resonate with you deeply.
There are a lot of big changes happening in your life that take major adjustments and it takes time to process and work through your feelings before coming out on the other side, and those that love you will understand this and want to be there to support you in ways that they can. Whenever I feel this way, because sometimes I still do, I tell myself that whenever someone I care for asks me for help or whenever I have to be of support to them, do they feel like a burden to me - my answer is no. So then, why would they feel as though I am burden to them in moments of my need.
I can understand that your wife leaving could add to feelings of feeling that you are not worth staying around but I want to encourage you that your wife is only one person. There other people in your life that love you and cherish you and will go through thick and thin for you as you would do for them so try not to let the pain and disappoint of one lost person prevent you from seeing the love others have for you. Because you are worth staying around for whether someone recognizes that worth or not, it never leaves you. I hope one day you can hold your head up again, and I wish you all the best throughout this time in your life.
