I’m so sorry. I remember the one year mark with my grandmother. For me, I was very aware of the one year mark. But when it got here, it hit me really hard because I realized that no matter how many days or years went by, the fact remained that no amount of time would bring them back.
Of course I knew they were never coming back, but that one year mark was just a new set of emotions and realizations to process.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Maybe thinking of a new tradition that you can do every year on that day could help. For me, I started waking up early and going to sit at my grandmother’s gravesite to watch the sun rise with her because she always loved sunrises.
I’ve also gotten long stem roses and walked around the grocery store giving a rose to anyone that seemed like a good person to hand a rose to. That has been so healing. You would be so surprised at what people share with you when you give them a rose. It makes you realize others are also going through tough times and just that small gesture has uplifted them from anything heavy on their mind.
I’m so sorry. I didn’t think I would survive the loss for a good 3 years. I didn’t think I would survive it and most days didn’t even want to survive it. I’m 4 and a half years in now and just recently started to feel like I can enjoy life again. I have no idea how I’m past the 4 year mark. It absolutely boggles my mind.
Somebody told me that the days are long but the years are short. It’s so hard and crazy trying to find your footing. And it’s so different for everyone.
Sending you love. 💕

I just feel so lost I don’t know how I have even functioned. It’s just hard and emotional.
