Two years ago I suddenly loss my husband after 50 years of marriage.
For me it was very painful to look at photos or to talk about memories.
A friend also sent me a photo of the two of us at an event…when I saw it I immediately put it back into the box and only took it out after two years.
My friend meant well but I wasn’t ready.
Now I slowly take out a photo here and there, but it still is painful …
They say time heals all wounds but I don’t think one ever gets over losing a spouse.

No, you don't.

Hi😊 this type of grief caused by such a monumental loss never goes away…we just have got to navigate it. Sometimes the reality of loosing a person who was such an integral part of our lives is just plain mind-twisting…unbearable! We have to create new people and experiences to fill that huge void. Nothing will ever replace them but they would want us to be brave and reach, and step out with deliberate action.
Hugs,
