Unfortunately, yes, I can relate all too well. 2 weeks before my husband's "day" I had a melt down at work, for no reason at all! I learned then that anything can bring on sad feelings just before that day. That day for me, wasn't as bad as all the anticipation of days leading up to it. Keep yourself busy tomorrow, but set aside time for you to cry if you need to. I did, and it helped. It also helped to talk to a friend who was going through the same thing. It truly is difficult, but we all make it.

My partner's 6 month anniversary is next Sunday. I honor it by having a family dinner. I keep myself busy prior to the day, planning the menu and so forth, but the week after it hits me...so I would say have family and friends around you if you can. Unfortunately there is no way around it. I found it easier to have our families together...I don't know how it will be in the next 6 months. I pray that you have peace in your heart tomorrow and everyday. Take care.

Sorry for your loss.Please know that all though we dont all know each other here we all feel your pain and will all be thinking of you tomorrow.And everybody else that has anniversaries coming up.Because we are the ones that truly know what you are going through. I lost my husband 10 mths ago and am dreading the anniversary already.But I think if I have come this far I can make it the rest of the way.Try to be strong and know you have people who love and care about you.Take care of your self and remember the good times.

My heart goes out to you. Tomorrow will be tough I know and we are here for you. I pray peace over your day and hope you are able make room for your feelings tomorrow. Try also to find a few small ways you can honor him by being kind to yourself okay?

I had this same experience in November - for about a month before and a month after the anniversary of his death. I think it's normal -- I'll be thinking of you...

Mine was on the 6th of march! Days before I was miserable and cried for hours on end but when the actual day came It wasn't really different from all the other days, I was sad but no more so than the day before or the day after! I now call that day his Angel Date! Hugs!!!

Oh yes...I can relate!! My husband died on December 1, 2006...My miiddle son gratuated from College on December 14, 2007. It was a very tough time for me and my son. He was very depressed and stressed. We both deeply missed his dad not being there for this important time in my sons life. Time does heal though.
