LuvsTrucks2 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Greetings LS, Having a very heavy heart today. Today would have been our 7th wedding anniversary. I guess it's now just another day. I will be okay. Work will be very demanding today, so that will help occupy my mind. Can anyone offer any thoughts or share their experience on how they managed to get through a similar situation?

hayewils Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Sorry this time has come. My only advice is the advice youve already recieved. Try to just refocus your thoughts, easier said than done.i know. These days present there own challenges. If your working the 180 and NC, just stick with them. Its a day that seems to be easy to fail but its not. Just have to stay strong. I came to an anniversary 3 months after the wife left. It is difficult but dont show them that it affects you..

MsOptimist Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hopefully your busy workday will keep you distracted and the day will pass quickly. You hit the anniversary much quicker than I did when I first separated. I had many months since the bomb was dropped shortly after my final anniversary with him. I planned a fun trip away to turn the day into something else - a new and happy memory for the day. Try to do something fun and for yourself today. It will also be a milestone to get through one of these big days post separation. As every holiday, birthday, anniversary, etc. ticked away that first year post separation and divorce I felt like, "phew, made it through that alive." By those dates next year you'll be in a much better place so try to think of it as another thing to make you stronger and moving through this healing process. Link to post Share on other sites
Author LuvsTrucks2 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 MsOptimist and hayewils, thank you for the encouragement. Up-Date: He called on my way home from work about nothing in paticular. Neither one of us mentioned anything about it being our anniversary. I survived the day which I knew I would. Thank you LS members for being there for me as I progress through this new chapter in life. Link to post Share on other sites
