[QUOTE="Blondie, post: 302467, member: 70"] Linda dear, you are handling this so much better than I have managed to do A couple of days after husband's passing & his wake & funeral, was Father's Day. Blondie the Sternly Controlled Clenched jaw Ice Queen fell apart (alone). July 21 was our 30th anniversary. More dissolving whilst hibernating, and trying to hold it together when the Miakid brought me flowers with-a ballon saying "Celebrate" what The hades? Poor kid meant well, she really did The August 19th was my b-day, also my late father's b-day so always has been rather a bitter day tears-wise since he passed away Perhaps the worst = that husband & I had discussed at length (his initative tbh, not so much mine) our "Plans" for each of these landmarks. Mother;s Day was included in there as well, bc he was hospitalized during it, and too weak just before hand to go anywhere to shop for the jewelry he had planned to get for Mother's Day (I even know what it was; he told me whilst hospitalized) and the gift (a ruby&diamond ring) he'd picked out for anniversary THen there are the vacation plans he/we determinedly made in the last 3-4 wks of his life it's all driving me nutz. Round the bend completely to tell the truth. But that's privately, mind. Obviously it's affecting the way I cope with the Outside World (recluse) but anyway You are honouring your husband, as we all should and do when they are taken from us in such a shockingly unfair manner. You are a strong strong woman my friend; you have my greatest admiration. And I've completely Occupational Therapist (OT) threadjacked your thread; my apologies with all my heart. Sometimes it helps to know that someone else whom I value & respect has, and is, dealing with many of the same "firsts" and attendant memories & all that goes with them You have my deepest regard and sympathies, Linda. Much love & tears Blondie [/QUOTE]
