Just passed my 1 year of firsts since my husband died!

Yes the first year is full of emotional ups and downs. I’m a planner and I knew what I was going to do for holidays. Some times being alone is good! On the day of my husbands death this year, I went to church and the back to church in the afternoon for a program with music. Yes I knew it would be sad but tears are part of healing. Allow yourself to heal at your own pace. Take care of you Deb!

@friendlyhelp Thank you for telling us how you have coped with your loss. Like you mentioned, everyone has their own timeline and process. I noticed you have been a long time member, but few posts. So, welcome, again, to Mayo Clinic Connect!

@dg0797 You are traveling a path so many of us here have taken. Good for you for recognizing it takes the time it needs, to heal. Do you have something in mind for marking that day, on March 31st?

You are both strong women!
