Yesterday was simply a difficult day for me and I guess I was mourning all the losses we, as a couple, have had lately.
However, I am one lucky gal in so many ways, and we, as a couple, are a great couple and have so much. What I want to spend my time and my thoughts on is his, my and our happiness.
Isn't it fortunate that bad has an opposite - good. While mourning takes root, it can make us tune in to our good fortunes. For if we didn't love, we wouldn't have reason to mourn. What would a world without love be like? Horrible, I suppose. We love you Anno.
My hub of 36yrs have just experienced the worst anniversary ever. Last year was stolen from us, in a way. This year, because of the things I'm dealing with personally, I've withdrawn and it is my fault that it went so badly. Father's Day was equally as bad... BUT, because of the bad, I've been able to tick off one more bad memory as thought waste. Your situation is so much more complicated (as for being right on your doorstep) than mine, so to see you live in the present gives those like me hope that we can all rise above circumstances and live in love.

Anno, I'm trying to catch up here on the forums and have just read this entire thread. All I can really say is how wonderful that you come here to share and vent. This is such a wonderful group of boomers. In my work I've seen so many women in your current position and I have nothing but total admiration of the strength. It seems you're taking good care of yourself which is vital to being able to cope and keep up. You're in my thoughts and prayers always.

Dear Anno: I'm so sorry for your pain. I pray the Lord strengthens and leads you during this difficult time. Please know that I'll be praying for both of you. Life is full of surprises, not all of them good. But when we face such circumstances, it's so comforting to know that we are not required to walk the journey alone. God promised to not forsake you! He does truly understand all you're going through. And only He can bring full reassurance and inspiration to carry on. Praying for you and yours...
