Box Set Dilemma

[rowanwitch]

Dave and I had a few series we were mad about, most of which have just released the new box set. My dilemma is do I want to watch them on my own.....
I don't know how I feel... weird isn't it.

watch them anyway, you will feel sad but but is to be expected, i wish you well.

i rather feel the same about later series of true blood. I loved the first series, but then when Heather died and i had to wait 2 days to give birth to her i had to fill my brain with "stuff" to prevent me from having to think about what had happened and what was going to happen. i watched the whole series in one o. Now if i eve hear the theme tune it makes me very sad, and i've never been able to watch any other series' of it

I would suggest that you wait until you do know how you feel. Its 8 years for me and there are still some programs I can't watch/places I can't go but these are diminishing with time

I would watch them on the sofa with a pic of Dave by your side. Maybe sounds a bit weird but that's what I 'd do.

[Old_Geezer]

Yes. He'd not want you to limit yourself for no good reason. Do so when you feel it's the right time.

Have you got a friend or relative you could watch them with? I sense you're not ready to watch them on your own yet..

[rowanwitch]

A friend ever practical said wait until the price drops so if you can't bear it at least you won't waste too much money.

[AuntLydia]

Personally I would not want to share the experience with anyone else if it was something me and my husband had shared together.

[rowanwitch]

No it would have to be on my own, none of my friends shared our taste in series.
Blacklist, Chicago p.d. Blindspot etc

[Patsy33]

Yes I can understand that. You'll know when you're ready to watch on your own..

I think that's the least weird thing I've ever heard, I think that's entirely normal and it's a very hard course you're navigating, so you're bound to feel conflicted and unsure about so much. Give yourself some time or buy your least favourite series and see how you feel after you watch an episode, it might make you feel closer if it was something you both enjoyed. I don't know how you handle things but our family talk to absent loved ones as if they were still there quite often, so slightly like AL suggests that might be something you could do whilst watching, just go with how you feel at any given time there's no right or wrong way to do this but much love to you xxx

Can't see me talking to dead people somehow, I don't even get the always with me feelings. I've ordered a couple from . CEX so if I feel like it they are there waiting. Plenty of tissues in stock. I'm always stocking up on tissues.
