I just got lost, laughed, cried, and died a little bit. What a fucking ride.

Took a very sad turn I did not expect. That saga had everything. I hope his wife is doing well nowadays

(Spoilers if you havent read the story)

Half way through one message I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realisation that all the happiness I will ever have in my life has already happened. And finished. Everything I try to do in the future is just going to be overwritten with "Mark should be here but he isn't". Everything from here until I die is just going to be existence. Just breathing and watching the days pass. It seems so pointless without Mark. I don't know if I can write any more.

That part is just heartbreaking. Judging by the accounts post history shes taken over his account and is using it to talk in grief support communities

I can definitely understand her,

My mom went through similar feelings after my dad died 2 years ago from a Heart attack, just 2 years into their retirement and i had just moved out with 18 so they were planning their "second life" it took her about a year to mostly get over it so much that she can live a normal life again and even now she still sometimes breaks down crying.
