Lovely post, A. I’m intrigued by your dream about your 1st husband. I’ve had dreams like that, too, where I woke and felt sure I had actually been with the deceased person. With your son’s upcoming wedding, it makes sense this would happen with Devin now.
Thank you, Annette, for this thoughtful dive into the imperfection of grieving - something I'm in the thick of now as my dear sister Debby faces her death. I read an article recently advising that mourning (in our culture) has time boundaries, but that grieving is forever.
I truly understand with the loss of 3 husbands. My biggest hurdle and still is the loss of my youngest son. Truly we all grieve which should be happy moments for weddings, birth of a child ( parents or grandparents gone) graduations, etc. as always love your writings. Looking forward to your next one.

Perfection. Passing on to friends who are grieving…and aren’t we all grieving?
