I can understand. It's year 5 for me and I.have had a relationship of recent that isnt ideal for me and it had caused me immense grief. I miss my love so much. I miss him with everything in me. What do you think possibly triggered this for you?

I feel the same. After almost 7 years, I feel like I am going backwards.

It is coming up to 14 years for me, so hard to believe that so much time has passed since I lost my dear John. I was on this site often even though I didn't comment much. I felt support in reading posts and comments from others who were feeling the same grief that I was experiencing. I still have those times when I miss John immensely and find myself in tears. It usually happens when I am in a situation feeling so alone in making a decision or dealing with a personal issue. He was always able to make me feel better, convince me not to worry and that things could be so much worse. Life has never been the same since he has been gone. A day doesn't pass that I don't think of him and how much I miss him. I can certainly relate to your posting.

Yes I remember you. And also yes, I can also relate, today (Feb. 26th) would have been our 61st anniversary. Yeah, it hits hard and still hurts just like all of them over the last 11 years.

It has been just over 9 for me and the sadness does creep in and overwhelms. I too think of my hustand every day and nothing replaces that feeling of loss. Take a breath and be assured in knowing, you are not alone.

It will be 10 years next month that Michael passed, and at times it seems like it was just yesterday. I live a full and good life, and the majority of the times, I am happy and always so thankful for the life that I have been blessed with. There are times, however, that the darkness takes over, and I find myself grieving his loss just as intensely as the day that we said our last goodbye. Its normal, and in ways in a great testament to the depth of feelings that we continue to have for the person that we loved most. The darkness, thankfully fades, and I am able to put into perspective that the shadow of grief will for ever be with me, but it will not own me. I wish you nothing but joy in your life, and remember you are healing, and what you are experiencing, is in many ways a love song to your late husband. Take care and find your peace.

Ten years for me. I relate. At times I felt I had learned how to live again. Then something unpleasant happens and I find myself missing Don so much. Life with Don wasn't perfect but it was sure a darn sight better than this.
