One day I’ll start crying for my sister out of the blue. It won’t be near any special date but I might have picked up a book by an author that we both loved or thought of a special vacation spot we both enjoyed.

For my mother, it was very much the dates. During her lifetime, she lost a grandfather, father, husband, and oldest son all during December. I think her stubbornness to not ruin the holidays for us is what allowed her to live until January 3rd.

A good support system is invaluable at this time. Lots of virtual hugs going out to you!

Had that experience in April when my son had his operation – I was understandably worried but also unusually tearful – then I realised that last time I was in that hospital was on the same day 15 years earlier when I was a patient suffering from a traumatic miscarriage.

Maybe your friend’s leaving triggered a lot of sub-conscious sadness over these tough anniversaries. So sorry!
