The happiest day of my life and the saddest day.

I am so sorry for your loss - you both looked so happy in the photo. Am I allowed to say that I think he was a very good looking man, you looked gorgeous too and it seemed to be a wonderful wedding.
Think of the happy times, that’s what I do. My husband was very good looking too and I had to chuckle the other day when a friend mused that it must be harder to lose someone when they are handsome! Find a smile where you can, I say!
Hugs,
Ann

Dear AnnR, Thank you for your kind words. My husband was not only good-looking but also a very fine, kind, and decent man. I am missing him every second. It was a wonderful wedding with good friends. I am sure you were also very happy with your husband. Sending lots of love and hugs.

Dar Annaessex,
Yes, you are right - we were so happy. We were together for 57 years, married for 54 when he died three years ago, so I was lucky in that respect. Your description of your husband could have fitted mine. There aren’t many men like that around any more.
I still miss him terribly, just as you miss your husband. It really hurts, doesn’t it?
Hope you cope as the days go on. It’s a case of having to I suppose. Although nothing makes sense any more, does it?
Love and hugs to you too x

We were married for 15 years and two months but about 26 years together. We married on 14. December, he died 14. February (Valentine’s Day) and the funeral was 14. March this year. What horrible lonely life we live now. Nothing makes sense anymore.

What coincidences! Dying on Valentine’s Day was particularly unfortunate as that is the day for loving, not mourning someone.
You’re right about things not making sense. You have been alone for a short time compared to me, and I wish I could say it gets better, but I haven’t found that it does, much. I think about him the minute I wake up and when I go to bed, and a million times in between. I find that I am able to enjoy things a bit now, but not as I used to and there is always that nagging regret that he’s not there. I don’t socialise much. I see the family regularly and a couple of close friends but that’s it. Such a contrast to how it used to be when life was full of joy and love.
We’ll speak again soon I hope. Take care of yourself,

What a lovely wedding day picture, such happy memories.
It is so very hard to loose the person who we loved most in the world and who loved us the same way too.
It is eight months for me now , eight long months. Life has got a bit easier for me although I still have bad days. I am begining to adjust to this new life that I don’t want but OMG, it is not easy.
I was thinking the other day about how hard my lovely husband fought for his life. I realise that I have to make the best of the time I now have and to live my life for both of us and also to honour him. So easy to say but not as easy in reality.
One comforting thought, at least we have known what true and everlasting love is like, we have been blessed.
Sending love and hugs xxx

@Annaessex thankyou for sharing. I struggle myself with the connection between what & who a person was & next thing they’re in a casket. My head won’t let me fully explore what it means & yet you’ve explained it with pictures. How can they be gone. I hope you have stacks of good memories to get you thru the tough times. X
