Anniversary and I feel totally broken

Hello Paul.

All I can say is I feel and share your pain, I lost my beautiful wife on 3rd November and the world is now a very empty place.

I hope you can find some comfort thinking about the good times you had.

A lot of people here will share your pain.

John.

Hi Paul,

Anniversaries are tough. All the first times are tough. But time helps.

I lost my wife in August last year and sometimes we reflect with my two teenage daughters on where we were a year ago and where we are now. It seems like yesterday and like a century ago at the same time. A different life.

5 weeks is so very early. Everything is still raw. Take your time. Someone was saying elsewhere we can't stop the waves but we can learn how to ride them. It's not that easy of course but don't worry, it will get better and for now cry as much as needed, embrace all this because at the end of the day every sad moment, sad day, etc. makes you stronger. It gives us experience and awareness.

take care xx

Antoine

AhPaul, my heart goes out to you. The firsts are the hardest. Lots of love, Mel.
