FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF MY BOYFRIEND'S DEATH ON 7/1. FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF MY BOYFRIEND'S DEATH ON 7/1. FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF MY BOYFRIEND'S DEATH ON 7/1.

Hi all. This coming Sunday will be the first anniversary of my boyfriend's death-unexpected from a heart attack.

I've tried to avoid thinking about it-that day I'll be at a conference and otherwise occupied in the PM but I still want to do something in his memory.

My Jewish friend asked if I wanted to do a Yahrzeit ceremony with her where you light a candle(or, in her case). plug in a wall light and say the Kaddish-might be helpful.

thoughts appreciated!

AC

I'm so sorry to hear about your boyfriend. FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF MY BOYFRIEND'S DEATH ON 7/1.

Maybe you could plant a rose bush or something similar in his memory?

My sister-in-law took a packet of wildflower seeds and sprinkled them along the road that she travels on a lot.

She finds peace when they bloom. "Drove by his flowers today," she says.

Just a thought.

Hi Ac, I'm very sorry you have suffered this loss. Be kind and patient with yourself it takes time to grieve.

When my daughter died I brought an I.D bracelet and had it inscribed with her name and date of passing on. Not as a reminder for I need non. But so I could in some small way carry her with me always.

Maybe this is something you also would like to do in memory of your loved one.
