Sundays were the days Cliff and I usually got to spend some time together just relaxing and enjoying being together, so I know how hard today can be. It is good you are going out to see some art today - I think art and music feed the soul and can be so soothing. We have ArtWeeks right now in Oxfordshire, I went to one exhibition yesterday and will take in another today.

I am an ex-pat American now living in the UK, my sons are here with me, but the rest of my family is in the USA. I keep in touch with my family there by webcam (Skype) calls. It's a little tricky with the time zones, but it is a real treat to talk with them and see them. I don't feel so isolated then - homesick yes, but not as cut off and isolated. I will be talking with 2 of my sisters later this evening as a matter of fact. You might want to think about downloading the Skype software and trying that. It also saves on the phone bills as the calls are free.

I am sorry for your loss. Sending you Love and Hugs....

Martha

Thank you for your support.

I live in London so I do go out a lot because my passion is opera, the theatre and art generally, very accessible here of course. I do FaceTime my daughter who lives I Australia every evening mostly (time difference obliges). The rest of my family leaves in the South of France. I go often of course but Sunday was always a special relaxation time with my husband. I miss him basically.

My wife died on her way home from church about 3 1/2 months ago. Sundays are tough for me too. I am sorry for what you are going through. All I know is that for me it is getting better slowly and I wish the same for you. Now that the weather is nice on Sunday afternoon I take my dog to a park and try to enjoy the sunshine and being around people.

Sundays are also bad for me...while hubby didn't always attend Mass with me, he often drove and picked me up after when we would go get breakfast and maybe a little shopping. If he didn't go, I would stop by the store on the way home and he was always there to carry in the groceries and enjoyed the "big" meal I would prepare on Sunday afternoons. I'm really dreading football season because he loved his Dallas Cowboys and we often went out to watch the games with friends or met up with our son at a local bar to watch and cheer them on.

I haven't been able to return to my regular Mass at my parish because that is were the funeral Mass was held. I've been once to another church and will try to go to my parish church but a different time of day for Mass.

I hate all of this...it is horrible.

My husband passed away on a Friday. The last couple of Sundays and as sick as he was,he would ask me to take him to church, so I look at Sundays as being a spiritual, peaceful day....Sorry to hear that this day is not a very memorable one for you! (((Hugs)))

Yes Sundays can be bad/ Even though Jim passed on a Friday that day never bothered me but Sundays seem to be the worst. I went for about 3 years to the cemetery on Sundays. It's a trip being 60 miles away. Now I work at least one Sunday a month and that helps. Sundays were our day to take a ride in the car go to a casino or other things together. Sunday always seemed to be a familly day when the girls would call or come over. Now no one comes over with the exception of my Dad. I always looked forward to Sundays but not so much now.

I'm also an art lover, paintings and glass are favorites. Collected turn-century crystal for many years mostly from early 1900's. They don't have the meaning they used to, but the oil's are displayed like a gallery on every wall. The glass work was ours, too many memories, but the paintings bring me peace of happier times. My husband loved porcelin birds. They adorn our cabinet. So much beauty, yet so much sadness. Hugs to you. Sharon

I know exactly how u feel. Just crying and on off all weekend. this is the pits
thanks for reading and posting it helps me more than u know

Yes, of all the days of the week, it seems that Sunday is the day most people enjoy their husbands and family members. Sunday is hard for me, too. I try to plan ahead to do something but the afternoon is so LONG when we are alone and so SHORT when our spouses were with us.

I went to Sunday School and church. That got me to noon. I got a fast food meal, came home and changed my clothes and headed out to the dump (we have to take our own garbage in this rural area). Then went by cemetery and changed out the flowers on the grave. Left there and drove 5 minutes to a popular river spot for families. It was jammed full and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I didn't get out of the car. I just like to ride down there, see the water and the people, then leave. If there's room to park (fewer people there) I sometimes park and just sit and watch the river. Anyway, stopped by gas station to fill up gas can for the lawn mower. All my afternoon without speaking to a single soul. All alone and so lonely. I hate Sunday afternoons now without Joe.

I lost my wife on a Sunday after noon so I under stand a little. The day doesn't bother me its every day. I'm still always tired. I try get up and do something, anything but I just get tired and I lay back down. It is hard for me to even get out of bed. But enough about me. Do something that you like doing that can not be associated with your beloved. It might be hard but it may help
