Good morning Bluesky. It's the 14th Anniversary of my husband passing away. I'm struggling with it this year.

Nothing really dies... The body falls away. But the essence of that person lives on in you and who you are as a person. Anyone who loves you, truely loves you, wants you to move on from them after death. They want you to be happy. Even if it means finding another love in life...

Hi. Grieving in chaos is a double whammy for sure. I’m grieving loss also and trying to survive our reality shtsho with no one. Lots of us out here. I hope today brings you peace and a spark of joy whatever that may be. Take care.

I hope his memory is a blessing for you. Widowhood is the club none of us wanted to join. And grief is a weird thing, popping up when we aren’t prepared. If the good thoughts of one Ohio woman help, you’ve got them.

He was one of the best and true Americans and he was a lucky man to have you as a wife. I can only imagine his remarks if he were with us today. He is sorely missed.

I hit the 20th Anniversary last month. The only thing that has gotten easier is acceptance that it will never change. They really will never come back. The rest of it, the loss, grief, solitude, and loneliness, is all still the same.

Thanks David. It was a traumatic experience from doing CPR until the paramedics arrived to removing life support and allowing the nurse to push morphine until he was gone.

It never really leaves us. My husband passed away in November 2013 and I still think about him everyday. I think it’s healthy to embrace our grief, it’s proof we love deeply. I think they walk beside us everyday. Most days,now, I’m ok but birthdays, anniversaries are more difficult.

My husband passed on Halloween 2013. My grandkids were all at my house as we have a lively night every year. He insisted we still celebrate. I was not with him, deeply regret that.

I’m so sorry for your loss. That’s pain you never lose. You just learn to walk beside it. There’s no wrong way to grieve. Make sure you’re able to take time for yourself to feel today. Sending you internet hugs and sending all the positive vibes for peace, joyful remembrance and comfort.
