[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 284226, member: 6479"] The first one is definitely the hardest. We lost Sis's Dad in February, so the first Father's Day was about as close as it is for your tweedles, time-wise. It's just too raw of a reminder before the 1st real grief stage has finished up. Sis was a horror show for the whole week leading up to it, and the week after. I was worried we'd have to psychiatric hospital her that whole month. Honestly, Mom and I weren't much better. Letting them cry it out is about the best thing you could have done...since there really aren't any other options. Grief steals creativity away - do NOT come down on yourself for not figuring out some way to honor your husband. If it gives you any light at the end of the tunnel, Mom and Sis and I went out for dinner last night, and had a lovely evening. Three years have given us the space to talk happily about him, joke about his ridiculous habits, and smile about his kindnesses. Sis misses him a lot still, but he's a happy memory, not that raw pain that it was the first year. You AND the tweedles will get there.....just hold on. :) [/QUOTE]
