Letters to My Husband

[Cpearl]

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to share something with everyone. A few weeks ago I saw this online at a site which was selling them. So I thought I would give it a try. I couldn't afford to buy one so I have just been using a simple little notebook. It was titled "Letters to My Husband". I write to him whenever I think of him (almost always) or when I want to tell him about something. It has helped me a bit. And I came across this at the most definite time, 1 year ago he passed away. I still miss him and it still hurts but writing him letters helps me. I hope it might help someone as well! Comfort, Hugs and Peace to everyone! ❣️

Hi Cpearl

That’s such a lovely idea and one I’m sure many of us will follow, thank you x

what a great idea. I’m so pleased that it helps you. One year is such a short time when you’ve lost a much loved person.

I began keeping a journal to my husband about ten days after he died. We talked always and it was so hard to not have him there as things happened so i just started writing what we normally would have talked about. It was four years since his death a month ago and i am on journal number nine. I don't need to write as often now and the entries are shorter, but it helped me feel connected to him I have recently started reading what i wrote because there is much of the first year he was gone that i don't remember like putting up my Christmas tree and its amazing and shocking to read what i wrote back then. I cry over the poor woman who wrote this in such grief, but it also helps me see how far I've come, especially on days where my heart still aches for his presence.
