Personally I would never discuss Valentine's gifts or cards in front of people who have lost their partners. It's extremely insensitive. Not that we celebrate it. We don't.
We celebrate, as did my lovely parents, but I agree, I’d never “brag” about my gift or what we did, in fact I wouldn’t do this about anything we choose to celebrate, to do this on a group where 3 ladies no longer have their husbands beside them is crass and unforgivable, imo.

It is so upsetting to realise that some people that we are friends with seem to have very little empathy or compassion when it comes to what they put out there, knowing that some have lost their loved ones.
It's not hard to think surely?

Until it happens to you don't know what bone crushing grief for your spouse or partner is like . I was 45 what did I know about grief.
How you feel half of you is missing , going from a couple to single in a blink of an I .. Learning how to do everything yourself . Remembering not to set an extra place at the table
Family and friends who still have there other halves I love seeing they still have eachother. Love seeing the affection they have towards eachother. Loved seeing my parents still holding hands as they walked along. Why shouldn't people show how much they love the other halves in front of you .
I would hate any of my family and friends suffer bone crushing grief.
Do not be grudge your family and friends their love and happiness. It says more about you than them if you are jealous and want them to stop showing effection.
Been 22 years since my husband died but I am happy when I see people showing they love eachother.
Just be grateful you found the other half of yourself. Some people live their whole life and never know that love and completeness. We are the lucky ones . If we didn't love like that then we wouldn't grieve.
