I found this link this morning and I'm sharing it here in case it can be of help to anyone. http://www.griefgratitude.com/ This blog is by a woman who lost her son, but we can learn from all sorts of grief.

I agree with you MFARM.Those times that come to us are things that are loved one has done.I and my daughters can feel my husband and their father around us by things that occur.Take them as a sign that can bring you comfort.

I am at 16 weeks and have had my share of ups and downs.  Last week I went back to square one, and it was just like he had passed the day before.  What a rollar coaster journey this is.  It has taken me a whole week to come out of the recent fog and start operating at a decent level.  I am super sensitive to comments again.  A friend cancelled a dinner date, and I cried after I hung up. On the up side, another friend called to go to dinner tomorrow. Part of it is the change of seasons and I remember what we were doing last year at this time, and it is hard to face doing those things on my own.  I know he did not mean for this to be so hard for me.  I have always been independent---but then he was always there for me when I wanted him.  Tomorrow will be better!

MFARM..When it comes to our deceased love ones, there are no coincidences..They give us a sign now and then..Just accept it with love...I look forward to them...

Gracious,  Thank you for your comment. The strangest thing happened. Some music station was on in the next room while I was in the monument office and while we were making the deal, one of my husband's favorites came on and it's an oldy one doesn't often hear.Probably a coincidence, but I found it comforting.

Gracious: Thank you for your words of comfort and support. Tough day for me.

I fully understand the love and companionship you get from your pup. I have a 12-year-old silky terrier whose affection and companionship during this ordeal have been more important than I can put into words. Like you, I worry about staying strong in front of the dog. She is fragile, weighing in at five pounds. She seems to sense my despair and she has had her own struggle dealing with my husband's death. (My husband was her favorite person in the universe and she was his.) Continuing her careful care has been something I can do to honor my husband's memory and, of course, something that I can do for my own peace of mind. Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am to have her in my life. I knew that, of course, but it is easy on a sad day like this to miss the joy that a small, loving pup can bring into one's otherwise lonely life.

Hatshepsut.Sorry to hear of your saddness.I too have my times when all I want to to do is be alone.and let the world go by.But I have a 1 1/2 yr.old pup. and he just dosen't let me have the luxury.He keeps the house from being so cold and empty.Keep moving forward.When you comeinto your own the joy will come.

Today marks three years since my husband's death. In many ways I have experienced some healing, but in very personal and important ways I am still desperately sad. I had hoped to do something significant today but, instead, my inclination is to hide at home and hope the sorrow will subside. I am so very tired of being sad. I try to engage with the world but, inevitably, I come home to a cold, quiet and empty home. How do the rest of you handle important days like "anniversary" (hate that word in this context) days?

  I just got back from ordering my husband's grave marker.  Although I kept it simple, I don't know why this was such a difficult thing to do. I think because it confirms something final.
