It’s now three years since my wife passed away, with all the horrible emotions which bombard us all.
The anniversaries all come together in 2 months, and I dreaded them!
I’ve worked extremely hard at lookiseng at them in a positive way. We celebrated birthdays, wedding anniversaries, Xmas etc for 50 years, why don’t I celebrate the memories of these happy times.
So the next anniversary, I went on holiday back to one of our favourite haunts. This first time wasnt easy, it started emotionally, but as the week progressed happy memories started coming through, and I could smile again.
As time has progressed, I’ve continued to celebrate our time together by revisiting more of our favourite haunts, and by trying to achieve something I didn’t think I could do.
Now anniversaries are times I look forward to, when I can share memories with her… I’m allowed an odd emotional moment, but they are minimal compared to the wonderful memories I come home with.
It’s our wedding anniversary in two weeks, but I need to think of another challenge to share with her
I’ve just decided to go alpaca trekking to celebrate what would have been our 53rd wedding anniversary.
