I miss the "inside jokes"

[widower2]

There are so many things to miss about our loss, but it seems to me one less discussed are these things. I remember things that are only funny to me now, because it was something we shared that no one else has a clue about and wouldn't get. Anyone else?

Widower I feel the same but we had more inside personal stories we had shared. But I guess the fact that just a one line reference would recall a story and imply an inside joke. You're not alone. It's really that we miss that private ever present companionship we lost. I'm reasoning it out with time but making little to no progress tolerating it.

Absolutely!  We clicked from the beginning, it was amazing, we understood each other and had a bond like none other I've experienced...including inside jokes, shared bond, memories.  We had more in 6 1/2 years that I ever had with my kids' dad in 23 years.

Yes for sure! That's the reason why I need Tom's photo at my desk during my day of work and another photo in the den in the evenings while watching television...so that I still have him to catch my comments, quips and references to things only he would get.

I have photos of George in the kitch, family room (where computer is) and living room, I'm rarely in the other rooms.

yes yes and yes.  little things.  My sense of humor is very warped at times and we would laugh over stuff that probably others would not find funny.  I can't think of any example of course but I can relate to this for sure.
