Wedding Anniversary

Thank you for sharing the beauty of your day. I am so pleased that you ultimately will be together. The cemetery sounds very peaceful, and a calming environment. I believe nature is a healing force. Nothing can take away the purity of your love. I have a similar situation. We will be together in a medieval churchyard, surrounded by the beauty of nature. Part of me wants to be there now. Sending you kind thoughts, Kate. Xxx 

Happy wedding anniversary.

Special days are tough, always will be tough. 

Glad you got to spend a day filled with beautiful sights and memories.

I miss my husband texting me and I really miss texting him. It's the odd things.

Enjoy your cosy safe place tonight.

Love and hugs xx

Totally understand. 

Take care lovely. We are all the same here and we understand. I feel very lonely too. Curled up with my little cat, chocolates and a bottle of wine . It's ok. 

Big hugs. Tomorrow is another day I promise.

Hi , I’ve only just joined the forum and yours was one of the first articles I read and it resonated so much . My wife died in June and September 27 was our 27th wedding anniversary . Jane’s headstone and grave have now been completed and I’ve spent quite a bit of time there hopefully making it look nice . There have been quite a few firsts , birthdays and anniversaries included in the short time since she died . I can empathise with your sense of loss and loneliness but fully understand that these feelings are very personal to you . A bit like yourself I don’t really know why I’m writing this other than saying things out loud makes everything a bit more real . Hopefully all you tomorrows will have some sunshine . 
Take care Peter . X

Bless You Sulubee & Happy Anniversary.

I lost my husband on 23rd June 2023. Two days before that on the 21st was our wedding anniversary so it was as if he hung on for that day just have one last anniversary with me although he probably wasn't even aware of it because at the end he didn't even know where he was or what day it was each day. My son and his partner and my little granddaughter came and took me out for dinner on my first one with him which was nice of them. This is something that will mark his passing as it was only two days before he passed. Yes I like the dark nights too but now they seem so prominent without my husband and that bit longer. I like the winter months because you hardly see anyone neighbours and so forth so you don't have to be out and about trying to exchange pleasanteries with people if you don't feel like it and as you say you can be in your safe place. Best Wishes to you.

My husband died on his birthday so that is a particularly difficult day . I guess we all have those days. I read a post a while ago that spoke about missing your loved one quietly everyday, when you wake up, when you take the dog for a walk, when you stop for the day etc. Sometimes you crash and sometimes you smile.

Writing things down here does help as people understand how you feel. 

I am sure we will all have better days but it does feel like a struggle.
