Hi, I lost my wife 7 months ago. It’s been very difficult.
I recently came across cross some photos of the 2 of us when we first met and its thrown me for an emotional loop.

Hi @Mekanic1971,
Thank you for having the courage to reach out. I’m so sorry to hear about your wife. It sounds like coming across those photos has brought up a lot of painful memories, making an already difficult grieving process feel even more overwhelming.
