Anyone else here watch "After Life" on Netflix? [View all]
It’s Ricky Gervais’ project about a man who loses his wife to cancer and how he tries to cope.
That’s not my situation, but some of what I see in this series seems pertinent to my mental state. After grieving for a period of time, the character comes to terms with the fact that he realizes that he had a good life when his wife was alive and pretty much realizes that he’s never going to have that happiness again. He doesn’t want to die himself, but he’s not excited about living.
Sometimes, I think that’s true of a lot of us. Not necessarily limited to a relationship - but we realize that the best years are behind us and don’t have anything to get excited about.
How do we get that excitement back? Especially during the time of a pandemic?
