Debbie,
I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. It’s been four and a half years since I lost my beloved husband Joseph. I empathize with you fully and pray that your solo journey ahead is becomes bearable over the years.
This is a good forum where all the members care about each other. Do come and post here whenever you want to have a sympathetic ear, people who understand.
Hang in there! Peace.

This is my first post and I just want to say I hope everyone here is having as good a day as possible with all you've all been through.  I never thought I'd join a group like this but I lost my Tommy on May 31st after 26 years together and it still hurts like crazy.  Today's holiday doesn't help since it's my first without him.  We never made a big deal about it but always exchanged cards and I'd buy him a box of candy and he'd give me a stuffed animal or something cute.  Like many of you, we didn't live by the calendar but instead, showed our love 365 in a million different ways.  Boy do I miss him.

His death was unexpected and finding him will haunt me for the rest of my life.  Journaling helps but it's going to be a loooooooong road I can tell.

I wish all of you the best in your journey forward.  You are definitely not alone and it's nice to see the friendship on this site.

Same here. Valentine’s Day was not a big day for Joseph and me. If it happened to fall on a weekend or if it were convenient, we would celebrate on that day. We didn’t feel like we had to show each other our love and devotion on a specific day of the calendar just because Hallmark helped hype up this day. Fortunately, I don’t have any special connection to this day. But it is true, hearing everyone making plans for this day brings a little sadness.
Hope everybody has the best day as they can today.

Valentine's Day...one of those holidays that feels like a punch in the gut. Ken and I never lived by the calendar so we were never big on Valentine's Day. Just because the calendar says Feb 14 is the day to express your love, doesn't mean it's convenient. I'm sure many couples have had big arguments because of expectations that fell short. Not Ken and I. If it happened to be a year where Feb 14 was convenient, then we would go to dinner or do something just to spend time together. If it wasn't convenient then oh well, we just pick a night that suits us. It was far more meaningful to receive flowers on any random day of the year just because Ken was thinking of me. Or when I would come home from work and he was already home and preparing dinner for me. We didn't need a calendar to tell us we should do something to express our love and commitment but yet still on this day, it hurts so much to see and hear all the plans other couples have. Today is a good day to stay off Facebook. It's in my own best interest not to see all those posts.
I hope you all can make it through this day without too much additional grief.

Pete....i'm sorry you've been ill and will be praying for your recovery.   I'm glad you're still keeping tabs on us, even if it's from the shadows.

Pete,

Hope your recovery goes quickly, feeling sick is not fun.

I am slowly getting my own strength back and some days are better than others. 

I too miss your posts, get well brother, untill then you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Pete ...  I'm so sorry you are not well and you get better soon.  We miss you on here and hopefully you'll be posting soon again, but until then take good care of yourself and know we are thinking of you.

Hi Sara,

I have been ill off and on for a number of months but still alive. I read all the notifications in my email, I  just don't spend much time online lately. Thank you so much for asking. I hope everyone in the group is OK. Happy to help with the Hint/Tip.

Everyone be safe and take care of yourselves (Pete slips back into the shadows)

Pete
