After writing about my difficulty coping in my second year of loss, I want to thank you for all your kind words and support. As my husband’s birthday draws near I feel alone and afraid, but also angry, at him for dying and myself for being alive. And then another Christmas to get through.
I know you are all walking in my shoes, so I am sending love and thanks to you all and let’s hope it will get easier to bear.
I’m so sorry about your husband. There will always be days when our grief is harder to cope with than others. Lots of people find important dates like birthdays especially difficult, and you’re not alone.
