I’m still married also and will meet again as well.

We are part of a club no one wants to join.

No amount of grieving can carry our weight of loss.

The kids are of the age to keep you busy. The dogs are hilarious. And you make your work interesting, for sure

Clear as day I heard her voice again "Did you see what you did?" Her flower beds are full of memories.

Married 36 gone for 8 and still very much attached.

Thank You for sharing your wonderful story.

I like when something like that happens. Sometimes a flower is not just a flower

Even after his death, she always considered herself married. And even though he wasn't with her physically, he was always in her heart.

You're right: LOVE NEVER DIES!

I hope today is filled with many warm and happy memories and that they bring you comfort and a smile.

Your post reminded me that June 12th would have been our 53rd anniversary. I lost my wife to colon cancer November 15, 2022. We were together for 55 years. We met when she was 16 and I was 17 in high school. We had two wonderful sons/fathers and four beautiful grandchildren. They keep me going and remind me of the life we had together.
I thought that I’d think about the anniversary quietly…..my sister sent me a text ( she was 8 years old at the wedding).
Thank you for the post it gave me an opportunity to share this and move me forward in my grieving process.

If i mention my husband, I'm honoring his memory and remembering the time we had. I like to include him, if it is appropriate to the conversation. It helps me and I think sometimes helps our loved ones, who won't forget what a good Dad, brother, friend, cousin and neighbor he was.

You actually have two deaths: The day you die and the day the last person that knew you also dies. So you really do keep him alive by remembering.

Thanks, airplaneman!

Keeping you in my thoughts today, Marthe48.

I'm doing good. And I hope everyone who misses a loved one is doing okay, too.

I think the title is: :'But for this' It is about this sentiment.

I think it is in one of the short story collections I have from my parents' home library.

Thank you.

Of that I am certain.
