My loves 1st anniversary is tomorrow, What do I do ?
I feel like I need to mark the day, but I am not sure how .
I am already counting the hours, remembering what was happening at this time last year.
Feel like I am going to let him down again.
So not ready for this .

The first are always difficult. No one can tell you how to get through the day its something we have to cope with but i can tell you what i did.
I went to his grave took some flowers talked, cried and told him off for leaving me. Went home played his music cried some more and lit a candle and cried some more 
. Sorry i cant give you some constructive advice but im sure you will work your way through it and sending you a hug .

I lost my husband last September, anniversary in a few days. Can’t get my head around it. How can it be a year when I still feel so awful. Will I ever, ever stop crying?

It’ll be a year for John in October. Just don’t know how it can be almost a year already. It still feels like yesterday.

I know how you feel, it seems like yesterday so how can it be a year. Never thought I’d still feel so desperately sad this far down the road and feel people will get fed up of seeing my sad face all the time

My first anniversary is in about 3 weeks and I had promised my son, daughter and family to a meal out since all our birthdays last June but for various we have not been able to all get together on the same day. My son has suggested that we should arrange it around the time of the anniversary and celebrate Joy’s life. I only hope I can cope emotionally but if I cannot how better to deal with it than with my family around me. Wish me luck.
