Another Wedding Anniversary Alone

View More Posts Ignore
September 29th will be our 36th wedding anniversary. This is the 2nd one without my husband. Dean passed away December 21,2007. He had lung cancer. I still wear my wedding rings. I also wear his and have since he lost so much weight he could no longer wear it. I can't even think of not wearing them. I still feel married, this is still our anniversary. I miss him so much. I know what to expect this anniversary. No one will call or come by to see how I am doing. To mention our anniversary that would be to difficult for them. What about me? Do they think maybe if they don't call or come by the day will pass and I might not realize what day it is? In the past years my sisters three of them would call to wish us a happy anniversary. I know it's hard, people don't know what to say. They don't have to say anything just call or come by. I will know they are thinking of me on our special day. Am I being unreasonable to feel this way. I still love my husband and it is still our anniversary....

" After my father passed away, I always sent an anniversary card to my mother on their special day. I don't think it is weird at all that you want to commemorate that day. You are not at all unreasonable in my opinion. Maybe you could share your desires with your close friends, and they could come over without having to worry about what to say, or simply send you a card. "
