Three years today since I lost DH

I don’t know why I’m starting this, really. Just to mark it, I suppose. To know that people are remembering him.

His name was Mike. He was a wonderful husband and daddy and brother and son and friend and uncle. He loved our daughter more than anyone has ever loved anything. When he said something funny he had this way of looking at you with the biggest grin and waiting excitedly for you to laugh with him. He loved to take care of people, to be generous with his time and his money and his affections. He knew me inside out and I him. It was love at first sight and I will love him until I die.

I miss you, Momo. Always will.

I remember your posts at the time. It’s hard to believe it’s three years.

I hope you are as ok as you can be. Flowers

It’s lovely to hear your memories. Thinking of you today.

Bereavement is the strangest journey - I lost my Dad earlier this year and am struggling still to find solid ground. I never knew you could feel so many emotions at the same time and it's incredibly draining. I'm bone tired still some days.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Look after yourself today Flowers

I remember too @ppeachgreen. I remember well how beautifully you wrote about your darling Mike. Sending hugs to you and your daughter. I am sure in many ways it feels like no time at all since your loss. Hope you are both doing as well as possible.

They are never forgotten Flowers

Itsamumone · 28/10/2023 21:55

Oh my goodness I remember you too, hope you’re okay. There’s nothing ‘positive’ to take from it but if I was your husband and I was to leave this earth and be able to read a tribute like that from the person I loved most I would know I’d done life right ❤️ he’d be so proud

Houseplanter · 28/10/2023 22:00

Goodness 3 years... I remember you and your story so well

In grief 3 years is forever and yet no time at all.

I'm so sorry, life is cruel sometimes x

WearyAuldWumman · 28/10/2023 22:21

Thinking of you.
