Older Man Who Eats Alone Goes Viral. When You Take a Close Look at What’s on the Table, You’ll See Why.
Seeing someone eating alone at a fast-food restaurant isn’t necessarily an unusual sight, but what one woman snapped a picture of at an In-and-Out Burger has been shared more than 7,000 times within the past week.
What got Madina Bashizadah’s attention was not the older man sitting alone or the walker beside the table, but the photograph propped up toward him as he ate his hamburger.
The photo featured his late wife.
“Oh my god I just died!!! He has a picture of his wife with him as he eats!” Bashizadah wrote on Twitter.
To those of you who have never lost your mate, the grieving does not go away!!! It does get better at times but try going to some restaurants and when they ask you how many, and your reply is one, that's when it hurts all over again.
With marriage thought of as just another thing to deal with , it is much more than that . You become one , and it is very hard to explain after half of you has died. It's like losing your ability to do 50% of anything with 50% of your body and soul gone . You people who think time heals , it does heal your body , but not your soul.
You never can be too sure. He could be pulling a Ted Bundy and could be a very dangerous person. Draws you in with the picture, the walker, the "story", and I'm sure you guessed it, THE END.
It's healthy to grieve but a some point he'll want to stop doing that or he's gonna miss the healing boat.
ReplyDeleteLifelong partners don't part easily. I hope this man finds some solice.
ReplyDeleteLeave the man to grieve in peace. In the end, loneliness faces us all.

ReplyDeleteMaybe he shouldn't be going to their favorite restaurant. Too painful.
