It’s a year ago today since my Husband died , I’ve had many nature signs over the last year which bring some comfort. I know some people feel differently but for me it certainly helps.
As I drove away from the Churchyard today there was a tapping on the passenger window from a beautiful blue tit. It stayed ages and then just flew off . A year has gone, it feels like he is becoming more and more distant which I hate I work hard to keep him remembered and talked about but sometimes it all feels so pointless.
Dear Sally
I am so sorry you too have lost your husband. I lost mine nearly 10 months ago now so I know what you mean about time passing. I try to bring him up occasionally in conversation with very little response. I’m frightened he’ll be forgotten. I’m selling our dream home which also feels like I’m losing another little bit off him but I need to move.
I look about in nature for signs too, your blue tit to me would definitely be a sign. As I sit here in the garden they are flying above my head into the nesting box and there is nearly always a robin hoping about. Last week I went to visit a bluebell wood that we both loved, the feeling of calm I felt sitting amongst the flowers was amazing. Being outside definitely helps me.
I hope your day passes peacefully, with many more signs your husband is close by x
Hi Sally, what a beautiful little sign for sure. Even posing for the camera. The most important thing is that we remember our loved ones, as it was our special love that no one else really understands.
I hope you have a peaceful day, wishing you all the best
Tom

I love that story @Sally65. Carl Jung, the psychologist, refers to these little coincidences as synchronicities. He said they are important and we should pay attention to them.
I thought it would get easier after completing my year of firsts. I do have some good phases but there are still bad ones. I’m working on it.
Good luck as you transition into year 2.
