First time for me seeing this post.
And its been 11 years and you're still honouring your wife, and keeping the memory alive is something I can respect.
Sterkte!

Ok-ish... It's always difficult and I noticed I was irritated yesterday quite easy.
Somehow I could give it less attention than mormal as we are moving houses. Maybe that is good.
And thanks all for the kindness!

Been with my now wife for 19years now and our thoughts are with you tonight.
It’s hard to imagine the loss at such a young age, stay strong and take care of your loved ones.//Jimmi

Well... Look at that. Due to the site transformation, or whatever is going on, I could not post here. Last saturday was this specific day of the year again. As always it wasn't easy.
Hope you're doing well mate.
I've thankfully never experienced the loss of a significant other so I can't truly imagine what that must be like. However the thing that has helped me with losing loved ones in the past is thinking about how they have impacted my life, made me be a better person, taught me and others things, etc. etc. I know it sounds cheesy and stupid but it's about the only way I can come to terms with someone's passing, by knowing that pieces of their influence live on in all of those around them even though they might not realize it. At the very least it makes me appreciative of the time I had with them.
All the best,
DB

And DB, you are right. Kathleen taught me a lot. Maybe the most in my life. I do carry that with me every day and I know it. On the other hand I feel that I can't even stand in her shadow. I am thankful for what she gave me and means to me. Still I am sad and maybe even a bit angry that she left. It's an emptiness I cannot bear. I will never be whole again.
BUT... I am doing good. Let that be clear. I am way too agile and resilient to sit down and cry till the end of times. That does not suit me.

It's this time of the year again. One I promised to revive this thread every year as long as I can. This is the 13th time. It's weird to understand how time passes by. The grief will not become less. In honor of Kathleen - here it is again!
