Here's to peace, and storms passing :D

I find storms to be peaceful too. Almost like a reminder that there is an infinite power in charge.

My husband passed on a Friday and I still struggle....so glad you are finding peace. Perhaps one day I will too.

The day after my husband passed away there was one very loud thunderclap as I was lamenting about his passing ...we don't get a lot of that where I live...
It's been a little more than 12 weeks for me, and I am finding it very hard to deal with...I keep expecting him to come around the corner, or give me shit for staying up half the night...
I hope these storms pass for all of us, and I'm glad you got some peace from it...I like storms too, when we have them...which is almost never.

My husband passed on a Friday, too. I wonder when I will stop counting the days and weeks since I last spoke with him.

Glad the stormy weather brought you peace.

My husband died the Friday before Father's Day and I counted the Fridays too. I think it's normal in those first weeks and months. Then we count months and finally years. It's part of getting through this. I'm glad you are having a better day, and the days will fluctuate up and down. I thought of it as a roller coaster. Know you're not alone in this forest of emotions and the sun will shine on you again. Sharon

Oh my, what is it about Fridays. I also lost my love 1year ago on Friday morning. There are so many memories of our 38yrs of marriage, that everything I see/do/think includes him. It is so hard & believe me I'm trying. I take a walk everyday and that does help.
And reading what people post on this site on Dailey Strength is a big help too.

I lost my husband on a Friday night too!
We were getting ready to go out to dinner with friends when he had his fatal car accident, probably due to stroke or heart issue.
In the beginning being alone on a Friday night was the worst because we often went out to dinner or stayed home with a great bottle of wine, charcuterie plate, bread and cheese...and music. Maybe fire in the fireplace.
One thing that has been very helpful is having people over on Friday and cooking a nice meal. It's kept me busy shopping, chopping, cooking, setting a pretty table, and having company. I like to cook and we both loved to entertain, so even doing it without him has been therapeutic for me. I hate being alone on Friday night.

Arlene died on a Saturday night. I never thought much about the day of the week. They were all blurring together by then.

My wife is from Washington. She loved rainstorms. We don't get many in Northern Ca. Taking her back there end of this month. A promise I made. We all need to find a little comfort. I'm glad you found some.

Mary, you're not done!

Expect your feelings to change just like the weather. You will have good, bad, indifferent and even some joyful days again.

I wish you peaceful and thoughtful days ahead!
