What do you call THAT day

Hi there, my husband died on the 4th August last year. I can’t think of an appropriate word to honour that person on that day. To be honest, I don’t want to relive his last day. It was horrendous. We might try and go away for a few days. Life for all of us is still so fragile. I have been to his grave over thirty times, to tend it and chat to him. I need it to be very low key. Kate. 

I don't want to relive it either, but I still relive it every Saturday! I take mine flowers about once a month, so I'll be going on the day, but what I'll do for the rest of the day I don't know. Its nice when other people remember as it shows how much he meant to others. I hope you trip away helps you. 

Hi there, I haven’t booked it yet. I am still considering the best thing to do. I just know it will be a difficult day. Tears seem to be almost a daily occurrence anyway. Have things got easier at all ? Kate.

Hello Jel123

We have something in common. My husband passed two years ago next month also. Yes anniversary I think that's what everyone calls it milestones are normally referred to that. I suppose it could be called the `2 year mark` or whatever hard to say what you could call it but I get where you are coming from with that. My husband passed on the 23rd June 2023 which was two days after our wedding anniversary so its as though he held on for that for just one more anniversary. 

Things don't really get easier just different. Eventually you get to carry on with the things you need to do but the tears carry on and hit you at sometimes unexpected times, when I see the soup he liked in Tescos, his car magazine in Smiths, the formula one he loved on television and other programmes we used to like watching together. We just learn to put on a brave face for other people. Make the most of the good days and ride out the bad. 

Hi Patty. We have more in common. My husband died a couple of weeks after our wedding anniversary. We would have been married 30 years last week. I've still got the last anniversary birthday valentine and Christmas cards he sent me and bring them out on the day. Makes me feel like he's still with me in a way/
