This my wedding anniversary.
The first in 37 years without my wife.
I could use some flowers.

Your post hit home. My husband and I will celebrate our 37th anniversary in a month, and tonight he has to be out of town for mandatory training at his company’s HQ.

Here are some flowers for you, though I know they are a poor substitute. 💐🌹🌷💐🌹🌷

I didn't know which you liked best, so I got you ALL the flowers! :)

This first year will be hard, with a lot of 'firsts.' Don't hesitate to reach out to your FR Family! :)

My brother-inlaw lost my sister recently after 50 years. Watching him, I know how you feel. Hugs and prayers.

My heart goes out to you, Lurkin. The love you have for your wife comes through very clearly in your post. I just said a prayer for your comfort and thanks for 37 years. Wish I could do more.

Hang on there brother.
The pain eases a bit with time. The first two years are rough. Can’t sugarcoat it.

I lost my wife six years ago come April. She passed away on our anniversary of all days.
Now I can joke that she did it on purpose so I wouldn’t forget our anniversary.

Don’t let anyone fool you...Real Men DO cry. From time to time, if you feel the need, grab a towel and cry your eyes out. God gave us that emotional release mechanism. Use it. He understands.

Hugs to you. Love never dies. Your wife is still with you, just in a different way.
