The waiting is the worst. Life all around us looks the same to everyone but us. Nothing is as it used to be, and that is a hurdle that, at times, is overwhelming. But believe it or not, one day you'll wake up and your world (or as many call it "our new normal") will not seem strange anymore. The timeframe is different for each of us, so please don't become discouraged. This road is a tough one, but we are more adaptable than we could ever imagine. Blessings to you as you continue the journey of loss and rediscovery. TJ

Some anniversaries have been easier than others. I have had a few that were very hard despite everything else going on in my life being good. The 7th one was hard for me, too. I hope you find some peace and comfort today.

Love and Hugs,

Thank you! I spent the evening with good friends and received several warm messages from others. Not sure why but this year just seemed more difficult even though I am doing ok for the most part. But thanks for the kind words

Hi I do understand April is two years for my husband. I’ve come a long way, made new friends, but with the ‘stay in place lockdown in Michigan I’ve gone backwards. I can’t stop thinking of how happy we were. I know if we were home together I would not feel this way. No friends can visit and I’m so very lonely . Anyone else feeling this isolation.

Hi I lost my husband three years ago and having to spend every day in the house right now when you can’t go anywhere,makes it that much more difficult .
So much time to think.
I had also made some new friends in the past couple of years but now I’m finding it very difficult .
You seem to think that others should know how you’re feeling ,because they are with someone they don’t think about it.
I know we can’t expect others to keep us occupied so we just have to be strong and carry-on. This will pass
