In reply to sue. That is rough, Sue. It would be difficult to separate the two in your case. In mine, he died in March but his birthday is September. I have some trouble with SAD anyway, so choose to celebrate heading into the darkness is a fortunate circumstance for me. My heart and prayers are with you, dear one. ❤️

Keith’s birthday came 10 days before his passing; separating the two is tricky. Especially because he had been fighting so hard to live. I like to celebrate the day he came home (day after his birthday) from the long hospital stay. He wanted to be home SO much. He worked so hard for it. It was wonderful that miracles were made to make it so. So many people came together (even the insurance company) to make it happen, so it was a joyous day. Still, the emotion of it all wrings me out.

Their last day is but one day of a life so full of many memory making days. Thank you for the reminder to accentuate the positive.

❤️ I love you, soul sistah. I celebrate mine on his birthday instead of his deathday too. I am decades further down your road and for me, when the pain comes now, it is still as razor sharp, still as devastating, still that big as it was on the first day. It has just stretched out, so those moments have gotten further and further apart from each other and don’t last as long, and the joy of my love for him, and my gratitude for it, is where I stay most of the time now.
What I hated – and still hate most – is when I realize I can’t remember what his voice, his laughter, his terrible singing actually sounded like anymore. And every single time I’ve had that realization? Within a week or two, I will dream him. He just talks and talks, and laughs – and always finishes up with a song sung offkey. Every time.
God has plans. And I’m pretty sure they’re still with us a lot more than we think we are. ❤️

Your ability to express your thoughts and feelings helps many who have lost. Thank you for who you are and for sharing. I’m a SOTF #3226 and I sure hope we get to meet physically as I feel I know your spirit already?
