Harvey- how do you handle significant BAD anniversaries?

[Bobbins]

My dds, Harvey died on the25th March last year. I'm not sure how I am coping with it. I'm not sure if I should take that day off work or not. It might transpire that I am alone that day if I don't go into work. A strange coincidence has occured. My prescription of Prozac runs out on Monday, the day before the anniversary. My six months is up.

Harvey is buried miles away, due to the lack of woodland burial sites in this country. I'm planning to go down there to his grave (and my mothers-they are buried next to eachother) on my birthday, the day before Harvey was buried.It's a difficult time and I'm not sure how to handle it. Is it just another day toget through, or should it be significant and marked in some way? How do other people deal with these days?

I'm so glad you had a dp to give you a cuddle last night and listen to you, and he is absolutely f*ing right, it isn't fair, at all.
I am heartened too that your ex texted you on this terribly sad day.

[Bobbins]

I'm overwhelmed.

I've had SO many good wishes today

Harvey used to be very forthright with his cuddles. He used to smother his nursery mates.

I've not gone to work today...I'm just leaving some time aside to think of him.

[Bobbins]

Just spoken to ex....he is at the grave's crying.

I said I wish we were going through this together....he said...."we are...sort of"...I suppose we are really.

My Dad offered to take me clothes shopping....bless him...he's trying to be Mum

Had a card from my health visitor...and a little book of Dalai Lama thinkings from a friend...opening paragraph;

"I think that every human being has aninnate sense of "I". We cannot explain why that feeling is there, but it is. Along with this comes a desire for happiness and a wish to overcome suffering. This is quite justified: we have a natural right to achieve as much happiness as possible, and we also have the right to overcome suffering."

Bobbins, the day is nearly over, so you're nearly through it. I truly hope tomorrow is easier.

[aloha]

Bobbins, I think of you and Harvey all the time. Your story touched me so much. I obviously cannot imagine what you have been through. But you had him and he was yours and always will be and you were lucky to have each other even for such a brief time as there was so much love there. I wish you both peace and that you will have all the happiness possible in the future.
