15 years ago Wash and I built a small LOTR Lego set for fun together.
Tomorrow is my 14th wedding anniversary. And this will be my 11th without him.
I’m building for us both.
For his Memory.

He’s already off in the Undying Lands, the Havens.
I seem to be stuck on a Very Long Journey myself, still There and Back Again.

Some of you may know that I've been a widow for almost a year now. I've learned more than I care to know about widowhood, and now I know more about condolences. Words matter. These are my thoughts.

Older people who talk with friends more often throughout the day tend to be happier, especially widows.

Second Christmas without you 💔
Words are failing right now. It's a difficult time. People close to me are asking me to be merry but I just can't.

Day 42 of was busy. Tidying & sorting - trying to regain some semblance of control over the chaos in the house. Dealing with the callous incompetence of @DWPgovuk@twitter.com. Taking kids to bereavement support appointments at the hospice. Sobbing in the carpark (me, not them)…

I saw a really impactful TedTalk back in my early-mid years of , when had evolved into and , and tho I had dealt with those all my life, nothing prepared me for the trifecta.

@porcelainkitty3218 Same here. I've lived almost half a century but still find myself being buffeted by forces outside my control. 😞

Day 27 of . Small wins. First night alone with the kids went okay. Got some chores done while a pal helped w/ the wee ones. A special outing for 4. Utterly exhausted now though.

First night in our bed without him. It’s incomprehensible that he’s gone for good. So very grateful I’ve got our 6 month old for company.

Day 1 of done.

Feeling strangely numb.

- The state of being a widow; the time during which a woman is widow; also, rarely, the state of being a widower.

What are good suggestions for getting through the first anniversary without a mate, that require neither inebriation nor family nor a lot of people?
