I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I lost my dad in November and brother in law two months before that. I understand the grief that death of a loved one brings. I think grieving is particular to each person but the loss is universal. We can (and do) shift through the stages of grief. Sometimes going through the stages skipping and returning.

Grief and sorrow can be so deep. That even a picture can strike a chord. That particular picture might represent difficulty for you both. When I see pictures of my dad in his hospital bed, it is not a good feeling. It reminds me of the suffering. So instead, my family and I assembled pictures throughout his life and made a electronic picture viewer. Not for everyone, but this was when he was happy and healthier. It is interesting. We did not put any pictures of him while he was in the hospital bed. I don’t think wheelchair pictures made it in either. That just came to my consciousness now.

Please get out if you can. Distract yourself if even briefly. I still think my dad is at home with my mom. When it hits me he is gone i cry. What I’m trying to say is do what feels right for you. If that photo triggers you, put it away for now. You need time to sort through your feelings.

Again, I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️
