After my wife died, I tried to go to 2 different grief support groups in person and several online grief support groups. Each of these situations were so that they were all women and I was the only man. Obviously it was very awkward for them and very awkward for me, and they didn't work. Every single situation like this is like this - they just carry on like I'm not even there, they just totally ignore me, they call each other, they don't say a word to me. So they people at church don't feel comfortable with me since my wife died, and they tell me to go to a grief group and then I go to a grief group- and they are all women and they aren't comfortable with me either. I'm very quiet and I'm not a person that reaches out very easily, until you get to know me anyway. I've got it in my head that women are extremely selfish because they just carry on like I'm not there. I don't think it should matter that it's awkward. They should try to include me. I never even had a chance..
