Tomorrow would have been our golden wedding anniversary.
My DH died nearly 18 months ago so no celebration. We never really did much with the family for our WA but usually had a holiday around this time . So I doubt if anyone will remember except me . Feeling sad and lonely tonight . I will buy some flowers tomorrow I think, and raise a glass.

SuzieB50 I’ll raise a glass to you and your memories as well. ?

Me and dh will also raise a glass or two for you SusieB50.
Nice memories will put a smile on your face i`m sure.

I expect your family are not disregarding, but feeling that, you may not want to commemorate the day because your DH is not with you.

Many people, even close family, can be embarrassed and unsure about bereavement and anniversaries and blank them rather than address the issue. It is probably love and oversensitivity that means nothing has been done or said.

But you have come on GN and we will celebrate with you. Do you have a weddding picture to post here? I was pregnant with my DS in June 1971. I seem to remember it was a sunny warm summer, so you must have had lovely weather for the event.

It would have been our 55th Anniversary Yesterday. I was away for a few days so spent the day driving home and the evening playing his music and looking at photos from our huge Golden Wedding celebration and talking to my DD's. After I lost him last September, I had a strong sense of his presence with me, particularly when in our home. This feeling has been fading but returned - he WAS with me yesterday. Today I shall visit his family grave as his lettering has just been added.

Be assured Susie, that your DH will be with you forever, in your thoughts, memories and his lasting legacy.

I send you my thoughts and warmest best wishes on this Special Day.

SusieB50 Sat 05-Jun-21 08:45:15

Thank you all , both AC have sent me kind messages already bless them .V3ra Our holidays were simple , but highly organised by DH ( lots of lists!) usually driving and exploring France which was DH’s favourite place and staying in gîtes . Sometimes we went to Devon and Cornwall but he never felt it was a proper holiday unless he had crossed the Channel ! At least he’s not here with all the restrictions now ...

honeyrose Sat 05-Jun-21 08:32:24

Ah Susie - today won’t be the same without your lovely husband by your side, of course, but I hope you can have lots of reminiscing of your special memories. Thinking of you. And I’ll raise a glass. ?

Alygran Sat 05-Jun-21 08:25:01

I will raise a glass to you too. Enjoy your memories.

Warm thoughts winging your way on this special day. I too celebrated a Golden Wedding in August last year just months after my husband died. We used to have big family celebrations on landmark anniversaries so it felt strange for it to be just another day.

But that it is only on the outside - inside I know you will have many happy memories to hold in mind, and I hope you can treasure these.
