  3. Forgetting to Remember and Remembering To Forget

    in Loss of a Spouse, Partner, or Significant Other

    Posted

    I have to wonder if this forgetfulness is an innate human instinct to remind us to stop and take a breath so our brains and our bodies can refocus it's energy. Isn't it ironic that through forgetting we can be reminded to pave a pathway towards remembering? It absolutely drives me crazy to forget. I usually end up thinking of my forgetfulness as a failure, which it is- Except it isn't. 

    Mary Beth.. This is soooo me ...still a bit scattered brained at the one year mark .. perhaps it will be a new normal?

     

    Peace- Marie

    Welhusen- I was also with my husband at the time of our fatal accident and have struggled with that. I am sorry your daughter has this sad association with her birthday now ?.

    I am glad you found us here ❤️

    So very disheartened for you in regards to the wedding... many hugs to you and your daughter.

    Be kind and be patient with yourself.. You can pour your heart out here..

    Peace,

  10. My Celebration of your life dear Kev

    Thank you all...

    Marty- angelversary is good I think I will use that from now on.

    Dr Lenera- I have not been so productive..I sometimes think I need to go back to work.. maybe then I will feel productive.

    Sunday, the eleventh was tough - as it was on a Sunday we were heading home from that great weekend with friends when we got hit.. but what day isn't tough anymore?

    All last weekend my mind was filled with the events ...

    I am trying so very hard to be positive and find some way to carry on ...

    Its a struggle for sure.. I was watching a show and this guy had a situation he wanted to share but he had no one to share it with at home .. that's me now.

    I so resonated with that!

    I find myself meandering around lost.. I get segments where life fills somewhat normal.. and then I feel sucker punched and life is drained and all I feel is the pain of this awful journey...

    I miss my love.. I miss my life...I know our hearts have a great capacity to love... I guess one day I will feel loved again...

    Gin.. I so get it.. I have not tended to plants or set out on the porch either and they used to be my therapy.. had grandson Mason today and I was completely lost trying to figure out how to entertain him alone .. I miss grandpa's big gigantic kid heart and playfulness...ended up at the beach and that did bring a smile to my heart ❤️.. watching Mason play in the sand and water.

    Hugs, Marie
