So sorry. It's those little things we miss, isn't it? My husband used to tell me he loved me every day, several times a day. He insisted on hugging me and telling me he loved me before he left for work (he worked an earlier shift than me). How I miss that morning ritual.

Awww...sad. Hang in there, my friend. Hope you will start healing soon and start surprizing someone precious with unexpected phone calls.

Yeah, I miss those calls also.

My hubby and I used to check in w each other a lot too. Esp so in the last years when he was on kidney dialysis... Those calls were...if you got there OK, if you're on the machine OK, if you got off the machine OK, if you're finally home, etc.... Plus I understand your wife when she would get an unexpected call at an unexpected time and right away think what is wrong? I think us girls tend to do that a lot though, LOL…
Regardless, not having those calls everyday is a very hard thing to get used to. It took a long time before I stopped automatically dialing his number when I picked up the phone. Even though it's been two years, not long ago I unconsciously dialed his phone number instead of my daughters. A girl answered and I was confused because it wasn't my daughter's voice, I looked at the caller ID and realized that I had dialed my husbands number by mistake or rather out of habit. I was quite stunned and taken back but managed to get the words out, "oh, I'm sorry...wrong number." That stung quite a bit to know that the number is in use once again with someone else living their life at the other end. Life does go on though doesn't it?
That was a tough one.
Triggers will pop up anytime, anywhere and any place....part of the ride on the grief train.
You were both lucky to have had such a special love… Take care,

My husband and I made those calls to each other, too. They all ended with "I love you". I have one on the answering machine and I play it everyday just hear him once again. This whole grief thing really sucks eggs.

Thanks for the info staygolden.

It's the simple everyday routine things we miss the most, isn't it? I have Dennis's voice on our phone, and sometimes when I'm sad I just listen to it.. It's been two year last week since he transitioned and I know I'll see him again..To many signs from my skeptic not to believe it..

There are all kinds of Love in this world, but never the same Love twice..;)

Take care M. peace and hugs..Gail.

For me it was walking in the house at any time. It was so empty. I even would walk into a room to tell him something and then remember he wasn't there. Now after some adjusting I feel his presence and caring love often. I had to recognize that only the physical presence was gone, his spirit remains in my heart. Hugs for you. Sharon

We call each other often as well. That was the part I was paralyzed with in the early days of grief - many of my break down moments came from this. When we were so used to be talking on, sometimes for hours, not having that routine created a large void.
