@wendytrg- Anniversaries seem to really trigger all of the pain associated with losing someone. The depth of your grief is also a measure of the deep love that you have had for your husband. You are right, there is no time limit on the pain, but time should also be thought of as a friend. Because it gives you time to grieve and in order to get through this it will take time. Oh boy, does this sound loopy?

My heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your husband. I hope that the love of your family and for your husband will help you through this time. Share tears and the pain, the laughs and rough times. It will help!
