Saddest/Toughest Day of your life?

I ran over a cute, little bunny.

The pass out challenge on Tik tok was the stupidest thing ever

Wow reading a lot of these posts made me realize I haven't had too many bad things happen to me in my life.

Sometimes this board really crushes my faith in humanity, other times it makes me realize just how many remarkably resilient people there are out there. This thread definitely is definitely the second of those two.

We had premature triplets at 25 weeks gestational age and my wife had a psychotic breakdown. I remember visiting the hospital and my wife was in the psych ward, two of the triplets were still in the NICU and one of the triplets had to be readmitted and was in intensive care and ended up passing away in my arms after we had to take him off life support. I remember not knowing which hospital floor to go to

I just wanted to say that I work in mental health. I work in a crisis center. A lot of the trauma described in this thread is the very stuff that breaks people on a regular basis. Many end up giving up and end up homeless or addicted. The greatest respect for the guys who beared their souls here and found a way to carry on. And for those who feel they cannot carry on, I'm wishing you peace in this life.

the next one

Actually it was a year. I lost my house, my mother, my spouse and both lost our jobs. My mother was in and out of 14 different hospitals and rehab centers. I would go to hospital watching my mother die and go home to no electricity because they had turned it off. I also found out later that year my spouse had a gambling problem.

I never told anyone I was kicked out of the Army and bussed to the Navy. I told my friends I joined the Navy and not the Army. My parents know but keep my secret quiet.

The day my late wife’s cancer was discovered and we learned it was rare, aggressive and not really treatable. We had just got the third of three kids to preschool. when world just did a black flip that day. We met at 20, were married for almost 20. She was an incredible human, great Mom and wife and an absolutely beautiful woman inside and out. I’m thankful for the time with her, but that day I knew it was ending. I must say I think divorce or loss of a child would be harder. it did blow up my life though..

My first really bad day was a little while after my parents got divorced, 8 kids were split up three ways. I went alone with my mom and her new husband. I had a brother who is only 11 months older than me. in 2nd and 3rd grade. We were so close like twins. So anyway we still went to the same school. I went to play a pickup game of baseball with him at recess and when I got to the field he said "go find your own friends get out of here", that was permanent. I have had many terrible days since then, but I thought I would share that one since it happened as a little kid.

The day my girlfriend told me she was cheating on me with several of my friends. May not sound that bad, but I grew up without parents essentially, and she was the very first person that ever made me feel like I was loved. I finally found someone who loved me, and then it got ripped away. Not to mention I realized most of my "friends" were not my friends. It has left me with some serious insecurities and trust issues. I do not think I will ever be fully able to trust a woman- my best friend of 10 years just broke up with his GF after she did something similar to mine. If you cannot trust anyone, the world is a lonely place.

"For all it brightens, love casts long shadows."

Having a newborn daughter this hit me hard. I don't know if I would be able to contain myself around that human trash that did that to your daughter. Do what you need to do to him if he ever comes near you.

The same thing happened to my wife. She had no history of that type of an event happening, it was completely related to pregnancy. It was about a year of absolute hell. Not knowing what would happen next. It was a horrible experience. Things are much better now, but man was that difficult. I don't wish that experience on my worst enemy. Hope you are doing well.

Losing a child or your spouse would be far worse. For me the time I found out I had cancer. I am cured after treatment, but took time to find out the severity. Unexpected, then the unknown. Hard to sleep for weeks.

Unfortunately most of these posts are from 11 years ago. I’m not very sure if these good folk are the norm here on Letsrun these days. Still has its good moments and posters, but my faith in humanity is definitely not inspired from this site

Hate your posts but I’m glad you beat cancer. Stay well
