Those month days are hard for awhile. Tearing up over things? I still do that and I'm over 2 1/2 years. Grieving takes time. I remember counting the months. Mine was also the 20th, Oct. 20th. I don't count any more, but I still feel a twinge when I realize it's the 20th. Yesterday was my birthday, so I have trouble forgetting that 20th. I had not foreseen the problems with month days. It's strange what things will set is off. Feeling particularly down on those days does seem to be pretty common. It does mellow with time as one friend who recently turned 90 said. Take care, Fay

Sorry to hear of your loss. My husband died a little over 2 years ago. I still have bad days, so don't feel bad that you're feeling the way you do after only 2 months. When you love someone for a long time and all of a sudden they're gone it's not easy. My husband & I were married for 46 years and had known each other since we were in first grade. I miss him so much every day and am angry that he was taken away from me before he retired and we never had the time to do things we planned.
Please take each day at a time and I promise you it does get easier but you will never forget. Come here for support cause we all understand. "Carole"

Five months since I lost my hubby. Just as lonely now as the day I lost him. Life has
changed. 43 years with someone, and then suddenly you are alone. I don't cry as much
now, just feel hollow inside.
I find that if I keep busy I am better.
Hopefully it will get better for you. Wishing you the best.
