I’ve not been on here for months, thought I was doing well 3 years passed into 4 th year moved house retired and life pretty good . Think about husband every day but all positive. Son got married Saturday. It was beautiful - emotions on high alert. Filled up seeing children come down aisle together. Into evening noticed a candle had been lit with plaque remembering all those not able to be here today and flood gates opened. Been tearful ever since .
Thought I’d read old posts remind myself how far I’ve come. Sure I’ll be back to normal in couple days?
What a beautiful tribute to your husband and others who weren’t able to be there, @Cooki. It’s understandable that would make you feel tearful. Your son sounds like a loving and thoughtful person.
I hope it’s helped a bit to read some of your posts. The community is always here for you.
Hi @Cooki , this journey is difficult, isnt it. We do great, surprising ourself with our strength, then suddenly fall into what I call an “elephant trap”. We climb out and start again. I sometimes look back at my early posts. I also cant believe how I’ve made such progress. I quickly recover, you will too. Good luck. If I lived in Lincolnshire, I’d get myself off to Skeggy and have a large portion of Fish and chips. We need to reward ourselves sometimes
Thank you for your message , I think you are right elephants trap id how I’ll think of it and I’m climbing back up. Been a teary day again but I feel I’m on my way out of it now. I found out my new daughter in law put memorial up for her husband and me. I thanked her and said even though I cried it was beautiful that she wanted us to remember him on their special day .
