Sad today.

So today is the 7th anniversary of my Dad passing away. Never gets any easier...I don't think time will ever heal the wound, just make it easier to pretend it doesn't hurt.

My DH also never remembers the anniverary and that really hurts me too. I usually like to be alone today, and this morning his parents called and invited us for dinner. Without even asking me, he agreed we would go. He has no clue what today is.

Sigh. Sorry, just needed to vent a little.

Oh sweetie, I totally get it. My mom passed away 11.5 years ago and you are totally right, it doesn't get easier. My husband never remembers either, and he's usually on the road recruiting, and that just makes it more difficult. Major hugs to you. It's so hard.

I'm so sorry

I think you need to remind him and say you don't want to hang out with people tonight. Hopefully once you remind him he will take good care of you. Sending hugs!

I'm so sorry. That's a hard date.

Some people just suck at certain dates. My mom would call her brother and sister every year to remind them about the anniversary of their father's death so that they'd call their mom.

I have a tough anniversary every year and usually mention it to dh a few days in advance. He's great and good with dates, but it doesn't stick in his mind as much as his mom's birthdate.

I don't have any advice. But I'm sending hugs to you on this tough day.

Thinking of you! It's been 14 years (yikes) for me and it's still very difficult. My husband never remembers either... Maybe going out for dinner will be a nice temporary distraction? I know, not what you probably want to hear... Just trying to look on the bright side! Hugs to you!!

Thanks for all your thoughts and hugs! Greatly appreciated. DH still hasn't remembered...I'm not mad at him for it, I know he has a bad memory...just still kinda sucks is all.

My BFF is always good though. She left a Starbucks and a card outside my front door then sent me a text to check the door. She always leaves a little something at the door today as she knows I like to be alone.

These are such tough days I know. My parents did me the great service of dying within weeks of each other (though a few years apart). My mom went first, 2 weeks after we celebrated our 2nd anniversary. I still have the annivesary card she sent us. It was probably the last 'coherent' thing she was able to accomplish. And my Dad gave us the great honor of dying on our anniversary. So my husband will NEVER forget that. We try and laugh a little about it now, you know "great timing Dad!" but it still stings. It kind of helps that my husband also lost his father, so he knows exactly how that feels.
