Happy Anniversary to you. I am sorry for your loss. I am very glad you put up your post so we could all be there for you on your day. Sometimes, as children, we don't know if our good wishes are the right thing to do when we have lost a parent. My parents had just reached 49 years when Dad died, Mom cried everyday for 5 years for him. It was very hard for her.

A dear hug for you.

It would of made my day a little less lonely. Thanks for letting me vent and thanks to those that understand my feelings

So sorry for your loss. I'll just say that I don't even think my kids know our anniversary date. Sometimes you have to be honest and ask for what you need. Possibly at some point when the emotion is less raw, you could let your kids know what would help on difficult days like this.

I never know what to do in a situation like that. I'm sure your children didn't mean it as a slight. They probably didn't want to make you feel sad and didn't know what to say either.

Maybe the kids just didn't want to remind you. :) Use it as a day to celebrate the happy times! :) :) :)

As a child, mother , sister we sometimes do not always know what to do. Do we call and mention it or try not to bring it up. I like what my nephew said about his Father at his wedding. He wanted his Dad listed and not as the Late so and so. My Dad is alive and well he just can't leave Heaven right now. I liked that. Yes this is your anniversary no matter if your DH is with you or not. The Date does not change. However. sometimes children are the most selfish people there are until their children are grown and they are treated the same way then we realize what we have done. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope you are close to God so you can ask for His comfort at this time.

Sorry to hear of your loss and know what you are going through. I lost my first husband after only 1 12 years, but then remarried the most wonderful man after 8 years. We will celebrate 40 yrs. in July. Hold in there and you will get through it.

I wish I was there to help you celebrate your anniversary. Even if your husband is gone it is the anniversary of a very special day in your life. Do something to celebrate. Even if it is just looking at old pictures.
Happy Anniversary |
