Thanks for the kind thoughts for my birthday. I know I can look at it a different way, but I'm not there yet. For me, it represents the joy I felt when my husband Ray was in inpatient rehab at the V.A. and actually walked with support as a gift for me. 12 days later he was dead.

I'm traumatinzed. People keep saying "three years is long enough to mourn, move on. Find a husband. Blah blah blah." No. Not anyone's right to put false limitation on grief and loss and anyone who tried should be ashamed. So grateful for your love, my friends. I'm hurting bad.

Mourning takes time. Part of my life shut down for last 2 years mourning. Other family members didn’t take as long after same event

Everyone is different. Any every relationship too. If I spend the rest of my life not 'moving on' (whatever the fuck that means to a 57 year old widow) so be it. I'm sorry for your pain and loss xo

There is no way to stop the pain, there is no way to forget. You have a right to it. Do not remove it, it’s yours, keep it and learn to live with it. Life is still beautiful anyway . I liked your pictures. Hugs.
