Perhaps it's true!

I completely understand what you are going through. It has been 8 years for me and I still get upset on the anniversary. Take care

I'm sorry for your loss and yes, it will always take time to live with the reality of him not being there as part of your life on a daily basis, however, he's forever in yoyr thoughts, your heart and if you have children, lives on in them.
Meanwhile, whatever comfort you get from, perhaps, his favourite song played on the radio just when you thought about him, or a feather which appeared as if by chance, take those things and smile.
To some they may be coincidences but if they have meaning and give comfort to you, that is all that matters.
Take care...????

Tbh Gabriella has said it all for me sunseeker but a new day will hopefully leave you feeling more settled within yourself.?

Sending good wishes! Gabriella’s reply is very kind. ??

Oh yes, I take comfort from any little sign. Was at the kitchen window one day thinking, DH please send me a sign so that I know you're around, and at that moment a robin landed on the washing line. Thank you for your kind words Gabriella.

Thinking of you and your loss. I imagine there are moments when it is still unbelievable that a loved one is not with us.

And I do think they watch from beyond and send a sign when they can.

for all who are missing a loved one.

So sorry Sunseeker - I have heard of Feathers appearing out of the blue - i do believe in the hereafter xx

Can't add anything to GabriellaG54's kind words.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. It's 8 years for me too Beckett and everyone tells me how well I am doing, but on the anniversary, his birthday and other significant dates I'm afraid I do still get upset.

sunseeker and and a hug for you, it’s soon going to be the first anniversary of DHs death for me and I’ll be upset I’m sure. If little signs give you comfort then that’s ok.

Anniversaries are always difficult and it surely is a sign. I agree with tanith that these small comforts help to raise the spirits. That's important for we widows.
