Anniversaries - Day #37
It’s the little things that can “trip you up” along your journey through grief. The songs, the smells…and the special days you shared with your loved one.

I remember one day in the grocery store quite clearly. My mother has been gone for 19 years, and I rarely come back to that grieving place around the loss. But, as I walked the aisle, a Patsy Cline song came over the speakers…one she used to cry over. And, guess what? I found myself crying for her all over again - despite the intervening years.

You can’t be prepared for those unexpected moments. You just have to roll with them, like the surging waves along the shore. But you can prepare for the anniversaries and what I call the “high holy days” of the relationship: birthdays, Valentine’s Day, or the day you met.

Plan to do something unique to mark the day - a ritual of love to further cement the bond between you.

Quotation for the Day
"Ah, woe is me! Winter is come and gone,
But grief returns with the revolving year." ~ Percy Bysshe Shelly
