I was thinking the exact same myself, I really can’t use Happy because selfishly I’m not!

I keep telling myself: 'It’s just another day", trying not to look at the new calender that I found so difficult to put up.

Me too it’s like torture

The grief keeps coming in waves and still cannot believe it

This forum helps let off steam share feelings etc

@Poppy1990 that’s so sad that you didn’t get to marry your beloved. I do count my blessings that I was married to my love for almost 29 years. It was less than three weeks until our anniversary when he died. I found my card from him, already signed, in his bedside cabinet when I sorted through it.

Sending love. xxx

Finding your anniversary card after his death must have been bitter sweet. Bet you will treasure it for ever i found all jims cards the other day when looking through a box seeing his handwriting really upset me .

Yes, @Misprint , mixed emotions. There was also my birthday card which was 11 days later plus enough birthday and Christmas cards for several years. I haven’t had the courage to re-read the letters yet.
