I walk on the Moor where we walked often and weep, I have a coffee and I weep. I sit in his garden and tears stream. On and on whatever I do I miss him every minute. Good luck I hope you do recover in time but I don't know how. <br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042187062227154205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764389163852345785.post-49158419496427283772015-04-01T11:42:40.655-07:002015-04-01T11:42:40.655-07:00It really is impossible to imagine.

Since Don and Fred died in the same month, we're tracking pretty much that same and I agree, the second year was harder than the first.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764389163852345785.post-82925283039860910522015-03-31T01:31:05.100-07:002015-03-31T01:31:05.100-07:00I can't imagine a time when I would stop cryin...I can't imagine a time when I would stop crying. It's hard to imagine a living without my husband. Your flowers are beautiful - a nice tribute to Mr. Ralph.

"They" tell us, we need the visitation and the funeral with all the friends and family around for us to realize it is true--they are dead and we won't see or hear them again. Are you still waiting for that final realization to set in? Maybe you need to go to a Grief Share meeting or talk to a grief counselor. What do I know--nuttin' Honey, just words from the experts that know, that have counseled me. The red flowers are gorgeous. Two years isn't all that long--the second year was the hardest for me. Now, it kind of scares me that sometimes I go for days and days and don't even think about Fred. AND when I do, it's usually with a smile. Hey--I'm probably the one who isn't dealing with it correctly!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764389163852345785.post-73444389228533243972015-03-30T19:42:02.461-07:002015-03-30T19:42:02.461-07:00I wish I could tell you the crying stops as such a...I wish I could tell you the crying stops as such and such month, but I'm not sure a widow ever gets past a time when the memory will trigger a tear or two.. It just gets longer and longer in between the sad days. <br /><br />Your red pot of flowers will look great, tucked in a color with the white and greenery in the rest of the yard. I do tiny Snoopy decals in honor of Don...put one on his cemetery stone and I got one to put on my new Trax's window.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.com
