My husband died 16 years ago.I use to have pictures of him and I in the living room.Every time I look at the pictures I cry.The first years were the most horrible years of my life.One day I said to myself this has to stop.So I found the solution and I tooked all the pictures away,and wait and see it will help my pain.It did!!! Help me a lot!!Then little by little after few month I return the pictures one by one.And I look at them and only came to my mind the good memories.And stop crying.I hope it help somebody.

I have a picture of my husband and I taken on our 50th wedding anniversary. I always keep a vase of fresh flowers by the picture. It makes me feel good.

Hi, @yoamoadios1951 Nice idea! I bet it will help many folks! I, on the other hand, added photos around my home when my wife passed away. Just what I needed to do to still feel close to her but certainly not for everyone I'm sure.
As my grandmother used to tell me "that's why they make strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream. If everyone liked vanilla the world would be a very boring place." 🙂
Do others have hints and tips on things they have done to help them manage their grief?
Strength, Courage, & Peace
