In a few months it's DDAY + 1 year. It is going to be a rough time for her and I just want to get some thoughts on making it easier for her. Our oldest childs birthday is jsut three days before and we had thought of going to New York for her present, but that is not going to happen because of a Disney trip after the first of the year!

Any thoughts or suggestion would be appreciated! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hello,
I am not too far past the first anniversary of d-day. The day was not a typical day- my husband was taking a major exam and we were out of town for that and for visiting relatives. I can just tell you what I would have liked had we been at home.

If I had been home all day, I think the thoughts would have overwhelmed me. I would have appreciated him making an effort to make me feel special. A card, flowers, several phone calls, a nice dinner out. Maybe an appointment for a massage, a facial, etc.

A few days later, we did have some time alone where we could talk. There were some residual things to discuss and I had that opportunity. He held me and answered every question without hesitation.

Have you thought about asking her what she needs?

I think I would start that way.
