It’s been six months today as my lovely husband died unexpectedly on Valentines Day. Tomorrow is our Wedding Anniversary. I am completely overwhelmed and I just needed to say that somewhere.

I am so sorry for your loss and understand how, as the weeks and months go by, the despair can get worse as you realise things will never be the same.
You have come to the right place to say how you feel. Just putting your thoughts onto a screen really helps and you are among fellow travellers here.
Take care.

I am so sorry for your loss on such a difficult day as well.
Feeling overwhelmed can come at any point. I’ve found it is best not to fight it but just be gentle with yourself. It is natural for it to come in waves of different intensity I think. So it will lessen a little again for a while at least.
For me it will be one year tomorrow and the last few weeks my emotions have been playing havoc with me. If it wasn’t for the warm weather I might not have got out of bed the last couple of days.

After Penny died, it was 10 months until our anniversaries came around, so I had some time to get my head around this issue. By that time arrived, I had begun to think that we had happily celebrated those days, those happy memories were still there, so why not continue to celebrate and remember them. Of course I was sad, but happy at the same time with all those memories, and the dates passed reasonably happily.
I always do something special on those days, she was worth it!
