That's so sad. I guess from time to time different things will bring back bittersweet memories.

I am sorry that going there hit you hard. I had the same terrible feeling visiting my Dad's grave many years ago. More time is needed to heal the wounds.

. It is hard

That must have been a 2 way punch. I'm deeply sorry and wish I could give you some hugs.

Time heals all wounds, but I imagine, when you are with someone as long as you were with your husband, that's going to take longer. I hope you feel better soon. For dinner it was more leftovers. I had some taco pot pie thingy stuff and finished off some chicken parmigiana. I might spring for something different today, but we'll see.

Somehow, visiting the grave of a loved one for the first time or for a lifetime, can really and truly slap you in the face with reality. Not that you don't live in reality, but it's so definite, and so hard. I can say that the first time is the hardest, at least for me. But as you say, it hasn't been a year yet. And a year isn't even enough at times, to get through the worst of it. You were married over 50 years, that's a long time. Cut yourself a break. I haven't made monkey bread in years and years. The kids used to like it and also liked to make it on the weekends sometimes.

I can’t imagine how hard that was. Yesterday, I had an apple, and beef nachos.

Aww, I am sure it was hard
