2. I hope you get through today all right.
Anniversaries are hard, especially when someone's death is so recent. Take extra care of yourself today.

13. I have a hubby who doesn't take very good care of himself
and refuses to be nagged about it. (sixty two, overweight, smokes, etc.) I can't help but wonder how I would feel in your situation. Lonely and scary comes to mind.

Hugs to you and hope your pain is softened by good memories. :hug:

29. For All Who Mourn
That he was near to you
so many a year
But darkens you distress.
Would you he were
less worthy and less dear
That you might grieve the less?

He was a golden font
that freely poured
What goldenly endures,
And though that font be gone,
its bounty stored
and treasured,
Still is yours.

The past is deathless.
Souls are wells too deep
To spend their purest gains.
All that he gave to you
is yours to keep
While memory remains.
Who never had and lost
forlorn are they
Far more that you and I
Who had and have
Judge not the price we pay
For love that cannot die.

by Arthur Guiterman

I wish there was something I could say to make this day a little easier for you. I would love to hear about your husband if you wouldn't mind sharing a few of your stories with us this evening. It's obvious he was well loved by you which leads me to the conclusion that he was a good guy.

:hug:

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it takes a LONG time to....whatever. You don't really "get over" losing someone close. I'm glad DU has been a help, and I wish you buckets of everything wonderful. :pals:

35. It will be two years since April's Death on March 14.
We were married for 12 1/2 years. I am doing remarkably well now actually. Have to elementary aged children has given me focus. I am dating again, and I do see a future, that is on a whole not unpleasant.

But I do know what you mean, I came across an unfinished needlepoint last week that she had stored in a strange place, and it did make me melancholy all day.

Love,
Throckmorton

36. Oh dear. Oh my.
SillyGoose and Throckmorton. I am so sorry. Hugs to you both.

It does hurt. Sometimes it actually hurts physically. And the loneliness! The fact that they are just GONE is so overwhelming. It took me so long to get my head around that.

My grief is an old one. I was married for 6 years and he died. I remarried and raised a family. We have been together for 27 years.

You will get better. You will be forever changed.

40. I Can Only Begin To Imagine How Difficult It's Been For You...
... I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm glad to see that you've made it this far. I hope that as time goes on, the pain and sadness will be gently replaced with smiles and memories of happier times. Take care of yourself.
