Adults who have lost a spouse or SO, how do you cope?
  • You may try a few groups before you find the right place for you. Grief is hard to navigate and no one is going to have all the answers you're seeking. But there are people who can stand with you through this.

  • Adults who have lost a spouse or SO, how do you cope?
  • I lost my husband almost 8 years ago and my best advice is to find support. Don't isolate yourself. For me, family and friends were there and available but I couldn't seem to open up to them. I found a Google chat group of widow(er)s that worked for me. Any time, day or night, I could text that group of people who understood this utterly un-understandable grief. They helped me not feel alone as I found my path through it.

    Message me and I'll be happy to give you my contact info if you need someone to talk to.

  • Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
  • Yep! 100% since Sync shut down. There's enough content here already to keep me engaged though not for as long as I'd scroll on Reddit. But watching new communities pop up and grow is fun!

  • How does this instance feel about this growing pact against federating with Meta?
  • I vote to defederate. If I want to see meta shit I can sign up there but I'd delete this account and go find some other instance that chose not to federate with them. I want to choose when/if I interact with meta, not end up in yet another place where they dominate everything else

    (Realized I posted from the wrong account. My opinion stays the same for both my accounts on sh.itjust works and reddthat and any others I may join)

  • Not surprised as well
  • I felt similarly about the PT Cruiser. Horribly ugly car but the inside was designed well. Everything was exactly where I expected it to be and it was an enjoyable drive.

  • How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?
  • Haha same. I started at beehaw but am having a hard time manually adding communities that I want to keep in that feed since they aren't onfederated instances. So I moved to sh.ithust.works and reddthat.

    I'll probably keep beehaw, I like a lot of what it has to offer and it's cool for it to be a specific corner for me. But one of the others will probably become my default home

  • Why doesn't via rail combine freight and passenger trips on the same train? To reduce the cost for passengers
  • There are also different types of freight trains that do very different trip plans. Manifest trains stop frequently and for long periods of time. Intermodal trains often pass through hump yards and are torn down and rebuilt after interchanging cars for various destinations. None of this conducive to passenger cars being in the mix. Not to mention hazmat cars and the liability of hauling hazmat and people together.
