The first year following the death of a spouse is filled with many “anniversaries”, occasions that can stir up memories both happy and sad.
Contributer Deb Edwards shared some recollections that the anniversary of her husband's death triggered for her:
Hard to Believe It's Been a Year
This is a tough month for me. Last year at this time, I put my husband Dale into hospice and began preparing myself for the inevitable (as much as you can “prepare”).
But it was a very special time; we made our amends and reaffirmed our love.
I was able to make two of his wishes come true before he died: to receive his black belt and to be baptized.
It was a very special time for our family – but one that brings back many smiles and many tears. It is hard to believe it has almost been one year.
Look for more about coping with these special days in our other posts.
