Anniversary After The Death Of A Spouse

The Anniversary after the death of the love of your life is a desperately sad time but death is not the end of love and it is love and that beautiful person that should be remembered today.

We thought long and hard before writing this article but if this helps just one person it will be worth it.

It is only natural that you will want to reach out to a friend or family member that has suffered loss and you will need to take the lead from them on how they would like to remember their love on their Anniversary.

Some people want to be surrounded by family and friends and reminisce with photos and memories, others may want to be alone and whichever they choose you may want to send them comforting words.

It is a time to remember…

He's Only Gone on Ahead

He's only gone on ahead of you,

Not just left you behind.
Although you can't be with him right now,
He lives on in your heart and mind.

The day will come when you'll meet again
On Heaven's distant shore,
And the two of you will walk hand in hand
Together forever more.
