Sounds like he is in the bathroom of a jet liner in flight. Why there? Jeezz!
I can definitely sympathize. But, try it twice. Just hope for his sanity that his loss was very recent. I can sympathize at that point. Otherwise he better learn to grow out of it, or he might not ever make it out alive, or at the very least, sane.

Been there. I was a worse mess than he is. I wonder how long they were married. 40 years for me.

Life is hell. Maybe he could hook up with Tawny Little again. Such a goddess. Bet she’s still cute.
Everybody grieves in different ways. Moving on is easier for some than for others. I think he is one of the “good guys” from that cesspool called Hollywood so I hope he can pull himself together and get on with his life.

Why do people these days feel compelled to broadcast their feelings to all and sundry?

Every death of a loved one changes us. I hate to say it has to be a positive change, but it will change you and it’s either that or a change for the worse. Get motivated to be a better loved one to your survivors.

Anyway….
His wife died late February.
Obviously still in grieving.
Grieving is a process, it’s dismal at times, time never returns your loss, you eventually have to walk the path before you.
Not one person is exempt of loss in your life and the gut wrenching emotions. Whether it be friends, family or spouse.
All of us are one step away from being gone, leaving others to mourn.
Death is just a right of passage we will travel.
Do you wish to travel aimlessly alone or guided by the hand of Jesus?

I like the guy, but I couldn’t watch more than a few seconds.
That’s a private thing or for the very few closest people.
I wish him well, but I see a lot MORE of this since COOF.

He’s looking rough. Hope he’s not drinking himself to death trying to avoid his pain.
You have to go through the pain and get a relationship with the new reality. And yes, you will be different. Cry as much as you need. It will stop at some time and a new day will be at hand.
I found it was hard for anyone to truly hurt me after I lost my Dad when I was 13.
The first time I realized this? I was 16.
‘Yeah, you hurt me. But it’s no where near as deep as I’ve been hurt before. I can handle this.’
Now it doesn’t even register when someone is trying to be cruel. I realize it’s really them that needs help. Losing someone still hurts, but you can carry them with you with your love. No better way to honor them.
I am Dad for this reason.

I looked him up, they got married in 2019. I was betting they had a longer run than that like 30 yrs or something. Would love to know where he took this video, in a semi, train?

My wife has been gone for 10 years after she died from leukemia in Feb. 2013. I still miss her tremendously; we were married for nearly 35 and a half years. We had our ups and downs, 3 children and a lot of good years as well as some trying times. I wish she would’ve lived long enough to have met her 5 grandchildren especially my 2nd granddaughter who is very similar
to her grandmother in her personality and outlook on life. My faith in God has kept me going, it’s not easy and I have experienced more grace to get thru her passing in the past 10 years because of this. She was only 56 and I was almost 60. God, my 3 kids, 5 grandkids and lots of friends have kept me going. I have seen her twice in a dream, the first time a year or so after she passed away, I saw her leaning down next to my ear whispering to me and telling me Thank you. And in the last year or so I saw her checking up on me to make sure that I was OK. She had a strong faith and belief in God and is waiting for me on the other side and I’m looking forward to that day to meet her again after I finish my life, hopefully after a good long life. Just recently, going thru old photographs and other things I found a diary that she had written that I’d never seen before that she had written explaining her faith and the trials that she was going thru at the time in the late 90’s after her mother had passed away suddenly at the age of 68 in 1998, it helped me understand her even more and I’m glad that I found it and I saving it for my kids and grandkids to read it in the future so they can they can know more about her. It’s also very awkward eating alone when I go out to eat breakfast by myself at a local diner on occasion but I’m doing OK. She was outside of my salvation, the greatest gift that God ever gave me whom I didn’t deserve since we were totally opposite, she was outgoing, friendly with and knew everyone, very athletic and I am quiet and a nerd with all of my books and a introvert but we made it work. And I wouldn’t have traded her for any other woman, she made me whole. Thank you, God.

My second youngest Manderin almost died in a car accident nearly a year ago. Everyone walked away practically unscathed even though both vehicles were absolutely TRASHED. I thanked The Father for sparing me that kind of pain. I would no doubt be locked up in a straight jacket still.

I have just spent almost one year going through a grief I didn’t expect. When Dad died in 2003 at age 80, it was sad. He had 5 years of suffering from debilitating Dementia, so his passing into Heaven was a relief to all of us. Mom took it hard as anyone would expect. I stayed with her for three weeks. Then Mom left this world with Jesus in 2019 at 93, and I was blessed to see the look on her face when she saw Jesus waiting for her as she breathed her last breath.
Both funerals were joyous as most of the family that gathered were Christians and we knew they were in their forever home now with the One who loves them most.
Last year, in June, I lost my brother. He suffered greatly during the last 10-12 years with progressive vascular dementia. Dad’s dementia was immediate after a botched procedure in the VA. My brother knew he was slipping for years. We were patient during his bursts of anger, his confusion on doing minor tasks, and as it progressed, his inability to communicate. Us siblings spent the last week in his Hospice room just being with him, holding his hand, talking to him. The last night, we all stayed, talking, reading scripture, praying and holding each other. He passed the next day and arrangements were made. Glorious visitation as we gathered to talk about his life, hearing stories I never heard before from friends and other relatives. His military honors the next day was as special as it was for my dad’s. The tears were abundant when the soldier presented our oldest sister Larry’s flag.
Then, the job of cleaning out his house fell on me. I went 2-3 times a week for three months (he never threw anything away), each day I progressively sunk into grief, more than I ever felt before. Guilt that I should have known how he was living and been able to do something, pain knowing that the things that mattered to him the most was in that house and what to do with it?
Grief. It’s real. It hits the most level headed person. When I couldn’t take it anymore, my two sisters helped me finish clearing out his house. I should have reached out sooner, but that’s what grief does to you. You just can’t think properly. I shared it with my siblings and a good friend. God bless them.
I don’t feel badly for this man. He is working out his grief with the people who care for him and his fans. Being in the lime-light, it’s natural for him to share this way. I will never ‘judge’ anyone how they express their grief. I closed up until I couldn’t take it. Other’s do it differently. Give people freedom to grieve in their own way.
God bless him.

One of the books that helped me tremendously after my wife passed away was reading C S Lewis’s small book A Grief Observed about how he got thru his grief after his wife had passed away. It helped me answer a lot of questions about how to grieve properly after my wife’s passing.

I was going to write something since my husband died in March of this year after two bouts with cancer. We were together a long time and raised five kids to adulthood. I found out that I couldn’t put my pain out there like that.My family and a few good friends will see me through and help me see the sun shine again.
