This month has been really tough my husband passed away a year ago tomorrow and our wedding anniversary was on the 2/12/21 we would have been married for 43 years. Vic had early onset dementia and was 61 years old my son and daughter helped me care for him at home during covid I have a wonderful family 4 beautiful grandkids and some amazing friends that have helped me get through this last year. I will grieve for Vic the rest of my life and I truly believe we will be together again one day.

Such a difficult time for you Dream, and these dates are so personal and mean so much. I’m dreading my first Christmas without Sunny, and New Year even worse, because I’ll then be existing in a year that he will never live in with me, and somehow leaving him behind in 2021- hope that doesn’t sound stupid…
I’m glad you have family to help you through.
Thank god for my siblings and friends x
Love to everyone here x

Like you,Dream, my wonderful husband died on 14th December 2020. I didn’t think that I would or could survive the first weeks and months. Somehow, though I have no idea how,I have managed to last a year. And now, after tomorrow’s anniversary, I have to figure out how to do it again and get through the next 12 months. Sending love to everyone who has anniversaries at this time.

I know exactly what you mean Sophie. Moving in to another year where our partners never existed. I used to feel like that until I realised that Ian will live forever in my heart & soul and will always be with me. That way he’ll move from 2021 to 2022 and onwards as long as I live.
I do hope your Christmas without Sunny will be okay and that you manage to find some peace. As you say we are lucky to have support from friends & family.
Love from Janey xx

It doesn’t sound stupid, you are brave to say it. I feel the same . How is that he is not here with my. How is that the 2022 would be living without him in an empty house. I wish the time don’t pass by as he is not here.
Hope you are well

Thank you Janey and Devi.
You’re right of course Janey- our partners will always be with us and whether we last physically saw them a year ago or ten years ago, they are always there with us. I must try to keep this in my mind as 2022 goes forward. It’s so tough though and I miss him SO much all the time. He died in June 2021 and I think about him every hour of every day. I feel so empty and lost without my sweet love. But like L, I’m going to join Wayup to try and meet other people who understand.
My love to everyone on this site as we go into 2022, and hoping that we all find love, peace and joy in our lives.
