The anniversary certainly had its moments, but overall lighter than years past for certain. Of course one reason likely was I happen to have an appointment with my Vets Center therapist on the day of the anniversary. Which gave it an outlet for conversation with immediate feedback with my being challenged to speak how this year was better.
First, allow myself time to be sad. It’s a sad day.
Second, say to myself what they would say to me. You remembered, thank you. Now breathe in, breathe out and move ahead.
Lastly, do something productive, fun or relaxing today. Something that honors them and myself.
A rather simple playbook to a complex day of emotions, but it worked.
The journey continues.
