The first Valentine’s Day without your loved one

The first Valentine’s Day without your loved one..

I’m re-posting this article I wrote back in 2012 that discusses one of the many “first times” survivors go through after the death of a loved one.

My article contains a link to another blogger’s article in which he discusses the experience of his first Valentine’s Day without his wife.  On a personal note, that blogger is my brother, a man who came through that period of his life a survivor.  Although he still misses his wife who died of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 69, he can now look back and relive the memories of the numerous happy celebrations they both shared throughout their almost 25-year marriage with gratitude and hope for the future.
