Well, it's been 7 years
I am doing all I can to be here for our grandkids' h.s graduations, still in the future. I don't feel upbeat and I feel like throwing things. But I won't. Just keep going, one foot in front of another and try not to wonder too much.
Thank you, DU friends. I appreciate the support. I am going to go walk the dogs and pick up the kids from school. Affirmation.

I don't know what you are referring to?
Other than bereavement..
I've been married 43 years. Can't imagine...

Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed I want to run around outside screaming and ripping my clothes!
Keep keeping on
I thought the day was the 27th, but our kids starting sending pictures of their Dad this morning, so I had to check. I think I get the date wrong on purpose. I've spent the last couple hours sending pictures back to them. I love the memories, in small doses.
Thank you Niyad
