"Wow - you are honoring Steve's memory in a most admirable way. I am glad that his friends are there for you. Eric was more of a homebody and I am the one out and about - opposites in many ways but it worked for us. It is probably hard for…"

Stumbled across saudade and felt a peace that there was actually a word for it. I wrote a blog entry to explain more. Hoping I did it right so friends can read it. Would you mind letting me know if it is viewable? Sorry for your loss. Glad to have found this site where I can chat with people who get it!! Be well, Lisa

DW said… Wow - you are honoring Steve's memory in a most admirable way. I am glad that his friends are there for you. Eric was more of a homebody and I am the one out and about - opposites in many ways but it worked for us. It is probably hard for people to understand but I am more lonely than sad. I have lots of friends but they have their own lives and families as well they should.
No one said anything to me on our anniversary in December - I even saw my sister that day and she didn't mention it. My friends were good to me on my birthday but I dreaded Valentine's Day because knew it would highlight my loneliness. My daughter's birthday is next week and then Eric's is on Easter Sunday. I am torn between hiding that day and celebrating - but I need to make sure I set a good example for the kids. I can't let them see me too far in either direction. They are almost 14 and almost 18. So besides other firsts this year our son is graduating from HS and starting college. Eric was so proud of being a dad and watching his kids flourish that it is hard to think he is not here to see it.
I have tons more stories - tell me more about you and Steve :)

My losses are many in short times, a 19 yr old son, a wife of 21-1/2 yrs, a Dad and BF wife all in span of less than 7 months, new and very deep but I have found an amazing place of comfort and healing, this place has been a big part of it. The rest of my "healing" is for private conversations. Just wanted to say Hi and welcome to the club no one wanted to belong to.
Love and hugs for my new friend
