Valentine’s Day is Coming Up
I decided to reach out to my Partner in Loss group in case they have any special interests or needs as we approach this day. I was primarily thinking of any additional support from the rest of us. Like many of the other previous holidays since my husband died, I have to admit I really don’t remember how or if I celebrated the day of our “engagement.” This year, I am feeling more aware of the holidays and am now thinking of Valentine’s Day or V-Day as a close friend of mine coined. It is an interesting way to look at the day. V-Day reminds me more about victory over a war. Perhaps this day is a victory as well. Victory over the great pain of loss? Don’t know. I say that knowing that the pain only morphs or softens in some way, but will always be there. I’d be interested in knowing how you view V-Day and if you want to share any meaning or activity you have planned. If you don’t, that’s ok too. Have a good weekend. Your friend, Sue 💕
