Well you made it Angie! The 6 month mark is a milestone. Isn't it odd that the day itself isn't as bad as the days and months leading up to it?
I am especially glad to hear from you that you were thinking of the happy times you had with your husband. i think that shows how far you have come.
As for myself..before Maureen's death I was reknown as a pessimist, a glass half empty guy. Since her death, a friend remarked to me that she needed to hear
my upbeat words and attitude when she was having a bad day. Me, Mr.Eeyore, Debbie Downer's little brother, and I was missed for my positive attitude!
Who would've believed it? I guess I had learned from my wife Maureen the benefits of a positive attitude, a value she held dear and that she was known for.
Grieving really changes us. I hope more good things come your way Angie:) arthur
