So sad that you are having a really tough day,
Mlestone Days (xmas day, wedding anniversary, birthday, anniversary of passing,) can be difficult days to cope with.
Wishing you lots of strength to get through the rest of the day
Thank you…. I thought it would be nice to get a group of our favourite people together today for lunch at his favourite pub restaurant. To celebrate and remember him. I think now with hindsight I was to optimistic in what I’d be able to cope with. Just want to get the meal over with to be honest….. I know tears are helpful in the grieving process but it is so blooming hard.

That is such a lovely idea, a time to remember and chat about many fond memories over lunch.
Maybe the build up to the lunch will make you anxious but on the day it might just turn out to be a very positive experience.
Being so down at times like these it is not likely to make you feel any worse but may well have a positive effect
