Although I am not as far along as you Becca, I am sure I will feel the same way when I reach the one year mark - just not sure what to expect. I am hoping when I reach that point, I will feel more happiness than sadness and when I think of him I will smile instead of crying all the time! Best wishes to you on your journey!
Comment by Lilterrisue on March 13, 2012 at 2:03pm Oh Valerie and Kittymom, my heart goes out to both of you...I just passed the 6th month on Sunday..it was NOT a pretty weekend, but I made it..take it slow, one tiny day at a time...why oh why does those monthly milestones affect us so much??
My heart is with you today Valerie and I hope today is a better day for you! The same thing happened to me last night. I was also doing well the last couple of weeks with staying focused on what I needed to do. However, whenever I sit down long enough, thoughts of his death also come back as if it was yesterday! My 5 months will be on the 20th. We will get through this but I expect many more tears will fall until we have adjusted to our "after (insert name here) died" life.

Comment by Valerie L. on March 13, 2012 at 12:22pm 5 months ago today I lost my first love, best friend, lover, business partner, confidant, comedy partner, mind reader, nurse (when I was sick), cook, handyman, masseuse, father of my children. . . my everything - for the last 25 years. I thought I was doing well these last couple of weeks, but last night the clouds came down and I feel like it just happened yesterday. Hope tomorrow is better.
Comment by Letha on March 13, 2012 at 8:57am Wow, first time I've ever heard of a 'happy committee'. SMH....
Comment by kimkirt (KK) on March 13, 2012 at 5:48am Mrs. Hamilton, so sorry about your awful day! The good news is the day is over and tomorrow is an opportunity to look back and laugh at what you can. May tomorrow be a better day for you!
