I think i am going two steps back these days.I thought at seven months i would be doing better but this has been a hard month. This week is my birthday and next week would have been Larry's 64th. For the last 40 years we have always celebrated birthdays together. I have mentioned to everybody that i don't want to celebrate because it just makes me so damn sad. Spent most of the weekend just puttering around the house.

Sorry that this past month has been more difficult than you thought it would be . Certainly having the 2 birthdays in one month is overwhelming. As you know there is not time line for this process and sometimes we just have to take it day by day. Grab on to as many okay or good days we have and try to let go of the bad ones. Happy birthday to both of you
Remember . . this journey comes in waves of grief, along with triggers galore. You may take two steps back, but then you\'ll take three or four forward. So sorry it\'s been a tough month. Remember it didn\'t come to stay, but came to pass. This wave will pass. Hang in there, we\'re here. Happy (not so happy) Birthday to you. Hugs, D
So sorry you are feeling like you are moving backwards. Things do get better in time, if we allow. I\'m sorry that your birthday is going to be such a downer for you. It will pass. There are better days ahead! Press forward!! You are in my prayers!
Just thinking of you during this difficult time! Hugs, Michele
I am sorry to hear this month is especially hard for you. Take your right arm and put in over your left shoulder. Now take your left arm and put it over your right shoulder. That is my hug to you. The good days will come back. They do. Love, Diane
I ran away for my birthday which is also my wedding anniversary. I didn\'t talk to anyone. It was right for me.
I had a rotten month in April with that at the beginning of the month and the first anniversary of his death at the end. Things did get better after it was over.
Wishing you peace and comfort in whatever you choose to do.
Patti, sorry it has been a difficult week for you. Dayna is right that ups and downs are normal, and in fact a better state than constant down. Hope you feel better today. Hugs, tiger
