In the three onths since my wife died, I’ve had to send a few birthday cards and all I can do is just sign with my name. How can I add something to acnowledge that my wife would also have sent her love? Especially for a card to someone special to us both? I don’t like to just ignore her And we normally send about 80 Xmas cards.
Reading about this set me wondering because I had to just put my name of course after would have been from us both.
I haven’t come up with a solution that I could actually do.
I have said instead of writing it that had my husband have still been here he would have wanted the best and then response is varied but mostly with children they have said yes sad isn’t it? Adults think don’t want to be sad on happy times which of course has emotions for us who may be struggling
My wife love Disney so I got a Disney stamp which I can put in the card. Some like that may help something which you she like and it reminds you of her may help. But for me it’s still very hard to do. Hope this help or gives you ideas

Tht’s got me thinking about something similar, thank you
Hi,
The only thing I can think of, is put “partner’s name” sends love in spirit. @Apw I like your Disney stamp idea, I’m a fan of Disney too.

I’m finding signing cards really hard, it seems so alien to be signing just from me. My daughter’s father in law has always signed Christmas and birthday cards from him and his late wife which we found a bit strange but in my new situation and with new understanding, I can empathise with how he must find it comforting. I’ve been tempted to do it but haven’t, but I don’t know if I’ve made the right decision.

I still put my name and my gorgeous beautiful late wife sue.as i said previously we both decided to carry on signing my name and sues as well .i dont think that it’s odd x
When I sign cards I put my name and then add another kiss and a little heart and say Love from David.
