Yesterday Was The First Anniversary Without My Husband.

I really felt like my husbands spirit was with me telling me that everything was going to be ok. I am planning on moving in with my daughter but the move is not progressing as fast as I want to.

I actually felt peace all day. I refused to entertain thoughts of stress and worry about the future.

I am so thankful to my higher power and my husbands spirit.

Instead of crying and being depressed and lonely, I spent the day with my family and it was a truly wonderful day. We would have been married for thirty seven years yesterday.

I still miss my husband. It has almost been six months since he died.

Glad you had a peaceful day with your family. I know that wedding anniversaries can be especially hard. You ensconced yourself in family and I have done that before. It was a great way to get through the day. I can relate to still missing loved ones that have passed, but Giz, they are always with me. Only their physical bodies really left. Sometimes I talk with them in dreams or thoughts throughout my day. But I am always, always glad for the time I was able to spend with them. :hug:

I am so glad for your higher power and that you were able to feel your husbands presence. Im happy that you were able to spend it with family as well. So sorry for your loss. I know you still miss him. I feel as Albatross, that my loved one are with me and that is very comforting to know they are angels above. Thoughts and prayers your way

So sorry to hear about your husband. I know how hard it is.

My hubby passed away in 2005, but I still miss him sometimes. We were married 23 years.

His spirit did visit me once, I heard his voice clearly speaking to me. I felt his presence too. And God is always close to me, to all of us too. He yearns for a personal relationship with us, which we gain when we pray. My mom told me that she didn't know WHO she prayed to, but that she did pray none the less. Praying gives me comfort, especially when I can sit still and listen to God or feel His presence. I just wanted to share this with you, so that you would know that others have gone through what you are going through and are surviving. Some days will be tougher than others, but thankfully your anniversary wasn't one of them!

Gizmo, I'm glad you were able to have all that on your anniversary. I sometimes think, if we listen hard enough, feel strong enough, that we will feel them and hear them. It is a comfort.

Happy Anniversary. I will say that because you still deserve one.

I'm so glad to hear that your day was a good one, Gizmo. You deserve that!

I glad your were able to feel comfort and peace of your family.

I read a book that gave me comfort the other day, that loved ones go on living not just in our heart, and our memories, but a piece of them continues on living for ever in each future generation, so they are always with us.

Thank you everyone so much for your kind responses. I really liked being told Happy Anniversary too. It made me feel better. It has almost been six months and the time has flown by I am dreading the holidays. I am so glad I will be spending them with my family.

I just had to share my good news. I had a really awesome day.

Dearest Gizmo,

I am sending you a gentle hug to let you know I am thinking about you and your husband. I am so glad you felt peace yesterday and knew that your husband was still with you in spirit.

He will be there in the holidays too, even stronger as you will be with family so he will be with them too.

:hug:
