When the people I look up to share their own grief, I am better able to handle mine.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry, how heartbreaking. What helped me a little bit was to put away all of my dog's things, as sad as it is. Then you're not constantly reminded of him. Allow yourself to grieve, losing a friend is never easy especially when it's so unexpected. Take care as best as you can and try to lean on friends or family.

You grieving is not wrong or bad or an overreaction, anyone who tells you that is just flat out wrong. Try your best to to grant yourself time to be sad, even when you feel like you don’t deserve to. Trying to repress/suppress such strong emotion is one of the strongest poisons you can inflict on yourself. With enough time, you will absolutely find acceptance and solace, and you will have sweet memories of the times you had together for the rest of your life.

You are dealing with it man. Feel what you feel. Take time to hurt some. You (whether you realize it now or not) as setting a good example for anyone who sees you.

That's an awful thing to have to deal with. Unfortunately, there's no simple way to handle grief.

When I've lost beloved dogs, it hurt like hell. But for me the key has been to honor them by remembering the joy we shared being in each other's lives.

My two dogs are lying at my feet as I type this, but the background image on my cell phone is a picture of the good boys I lost ten and twelve years ago. I sometimes get sad when I look at the phone and see them, but most of the time, seeing them makes me smile.

You can be like this. It is healthy and necessary for you to grieve the loss of your loved one. And it will help to have your family there to help pick you back up.

My aunt got a statue that looks like her late dog. So that no matter what, her girl is there watching her come every day.

I'm going to get my dogs paws tattooed up my spine with their gotcha/birthdays with it. Grieve your pal, like you would any other person.

I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you can find some solace in knowing that you were their whole world.

Above all else, you need to allow yourself time to grieve. I get that your family looks to you for things, but it is absolutely imperative that you have time to process your emotions. There is unfortunately no shortcut for this, and no time table that can be given either. It will take you as long as it takes you, and that's okay.

Do what you can to give yourself that time. Don't neglect others, but don't neglect yourself either. Allow yourself to grieve, to feel the loss, to cry. That's the only thing that will help.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you. That’s really sweet! I noticed that title detail as well. :)

How come this does not apply to people on bikes they should be able to predict a car can go faster and drive on the same surface the bike is on why doesn't the bike move over and maintain a clear motor vehicle lane and not cause a safety issue by going slower then the published speed limit without proper hazard lights. In of it self is a fine and a ticket in most states.

But coffee and sodas are okay.

Hate voicemails. I never listen to them. Who leaves voicemails ?

> I'm guilty of doing it too

Well then, the technology is then correct to flag you for higher insurance. Good thing is that you are aware of it and could maybe work on it. You know you are doing dangerous things behind the wheel but you don't care about fixing them since you see no value in that. Your time is more valuable than well being of other people. Maybe a thought of keeping insurance money in your pocket would be enough to convince you to be more careful while driving?

It's not a comment about your specific driving, but to people in general. I'm sure a lot of people would think twice about their driving habits if it meant saving money.

Ok....drivers are unpredictable. You can't always anticipate them. In Florida, I deal with old people doped up on opiod painkillers, methheads, and assorted other crazies on the road.

As far as your second point....can't switch lanes if its a 2-lane undivided roadway. I live in a small town with few multilane roads.

I know I have my faults behind the wheel. I'm impatient, especially dealing with all elderly drivers driving 10 mph below the speed limit for no good reason, tourists who have no idea where they're going, etc. It gets frustrating many times. I've witnessed many unsafe maneuvers from drivers trying to move at a decent pace. I'm guilty of doing it too. I'm trying to get somewhere....I don't have the leisure of some retiree who has no place to be and drive like it's Sunday every day.

> I had to brake fast because someone pulled out, not because I'm an agressive driver.

If you were a good driver you'd anticipate it and not have to brake hard. If it happens often to you it means that you are not paying enough attention to your surroundings

> I had to drift in my lane to give a bicycle room as I passed them, not because I'm inebriated or distracted.

If you were good driver, you'd switch lanes when passing a bike at safe and comfortable distance instead of just drifting a little bit. If you happen to be in this situation a lot, you should rethink how you overtake other road users.

Sometimes it's not technology that is dumb. Sometimes (and I dare to say, a lot of times) drivers just have terrible habits and they don't recognize their own mistakes behind the wheel.

Consider sitting at a table by the window. Sofas are just too comfortably relaxing. Turn off/ mute phone, have a glass of water/drink nearby. Enjoy the book, skip sections that are not entertaining or just change books. Leasure reading is just that, be entertained.

Some of the tech on my car malfunctions. If I am driving east in the morning, the sun casts shadows that makes my car think it's following too close to another vehicle, and will beep and flash a red light on my dash.

The app also doesn't take into account the context of my driving manuever. I had to brake fast because someone pulled out, not because I'm an agressive driver. I had to drift in my lane to give a bicycle room as I passed them, not because I'm inebriated or distracted.

Technology can be dumb, y'all.

Unethical? We act/Behave differently when someone else is watching I’d call this natural.

Yep I said it doesn’t work for all insurance companies it has for mine I’ve had the discount for 4 years now. I could argue you could turn it on once or twice a week to keep the discount. A lot of them have were you can mark that you are a passenger so they can’t always be tracking anyway.

1. Unethical

2. I know that mine at least has a requirement that if you use it, you continue to use it, and they can revert the discount if you stop using it
