I have a wonderful picture of my husband on a pier table in my dining area. There is a vase next to it. When I go to the store I buy flowers for the vase. However I still have very mixed emotions when I see the picture and know that is all I have of him now.

That is lovely. My sister gave me one of his handkerchiefs, I have one of his badges. Maybe if you put some. Items personal to your husband, it may help. It helped to put some of his things there, even a medication bottle (old). Something tangible. I saved the funeral program. To know my dad is not suffering anymore brings me comfort. One day when I’m stronger I might not feel the need to remember in these ways, but for now.

You know, for Christmas I gave my family each a digital frame with a usb stick of all the pictures we shared at the wake. They were the best of the best. So whenever they walk in the room, it senses it and starts to play. Maybe something like that. Hold onto the beautiful memories…
