It’s His Birthday

[Fmf]

So today would have been my husbands 52nd birthday. He died almost 6 months ago. I am actually more bothered by the slew of messages about how hard people “know” today is going to be. I’m at peace with his loss. He was diagnosed and died within three weeks. He didn’t suffer and my daughters never really saw their dad as anyone other than what he’d always been. But I’ll thank the people for their time and tell them that we are good. You know what we really are. We are continuing our lives, we had many happy occasions that we just celebrated- does it stink that he wasn’t there of course, but we keep living our lives as I know he would want.

It sounds like you are handling it as well as can be.  Some people are dismayed that people don't contact them for days like this, while you are bothered by it, so I guess people can't know unless you tell them how you really feel.

My husband died just after his 51st birthday, I felt it was way premature.  I'm sorry for your loss.  You've found a good place to come to, it helps to have people that get it.
