- My grief is the same. I just cope with it better on a day to day basis now than I did at the start. #grief #loss #bereft #widowhood
- Had a bittersweet dream last night. I was in bed (in the dream) and felt it move and said, “Babe. Is that you?” And Julian cuddled in next to me. And it felt so good. But then I woke up and it was just me again. Now I feel even lonelier and miss him even more. #grief #widow #bereft #partnerloss
- Another account on here said “if you haven’t lost a partner, look away”. No shade to them, but I disagree. If you haven’t lost your partner, pay attention. This could be you at any time, without notice. On 12 Oct ‘23 I had no idea it would be me. Now it is. #grief #widow #partnerloss #bereft
- Feel like I'm close to a nervous breakdown. A quick blog post on it is here. #grief #mentalhealth #stress
- A Widow's Valentine's Day Message: Take it from me; you never know how long you have with your partner/spouse. Cherish them. Enjoy every moment, even when they are annoying. When they are gone, you'll want them annoying you again, because it means they are still alive. #widowhood #grief
- Losing a loved one sucks. Grief sucks. I don't want anyone to lose their child because some people seem to have nothing else better to do with their lives than hate. Trans people, including trans kids, exist. #transrightsarehumanrights #transpeopleexist #stophate
- My latest blog post. This one is a bit of a downer, so beware. jonathanrerouted.com/2025/02/04/i... #bereft #grief #movingforward
- My new blog post features a poem (or poem-like creation) that I wrote awhile back, but fits my current mood. jonathanrerouted.com/2025/02/03/b... #writing #blog #bereft #grief
- Time hasn't healed anything. Oh... it is "easier" in some ways. His absences is more familiar in some ways. But, I still miss him every day. Almost 16 months later and that has not changed. #grief #bereft #widowhood #widow #death
- Recently moved back to Melbourne. And, I am feeling lonely. Oh, I have friends here; I’ll see some later today in fact. My loneliness is not about being alone. It’s about being without him. Talk about it in my blog post here: jonathanrerouted.wordpress.com/wp-admin/pos... #grief #lonely #alone

- My therapist said something similar to me. Julian's death created a detour toward my life's destination - a happy and fulfilling life. But, it hasn't ended the journey. I'm just now on it alone and will have to take a new route. #grief #grieving #lifejourney #rerouted
- Memories of our dead loved ones are always welcome. Don’t hold onto them. Share them with us. #death #grief #grieving #memories
- "Unfortunately, that, ‘Time heals all wounds’ is just a bunch of malarkey. Time doesn't heal all wounds. It just changes you enough so you can live with them." - Madeleine Matlock (Kathy Bates) You got that right!
- I have a journal I make available for people who knew Julian to write in a memory, story, etc about him. A friend of ours visited from the US a few months back. He wrote this haiku, and it just hits. #grief #bereft #loss #haiku
