Widowed in 2011

kittymom, I do smile more and it is remarkable how strong the memories that make me smile are. I think that the reality of it all came tumbling down and the fact that he is really not coming back hit. Not that I didn't already know that, I think maybe I was hoping for some recognizable noise. It was just he and I and the house just seems so quiet at times.

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!

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.

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.

I have now passed the 1 year mark, 365 complete days of "widowhood". Not sure what I expected...guess I was hoping that once you got there and actually lived through it, all would be back to normal. Really not the case. Yip, some days are better than others, "things" still take me in directions I had no intention of going at that particular moment in time, but everything is still so quiet.

Wow, first time I've ever heard of a 'happy committee'. SMH....

A committee to make you happy? So sorry, it's so hard to hear stuff like that. I hope today is a better day.

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!
