It is week 7, and my loneliness for my husband has been unbearable. Then I found on ROKU a way to set up a slide show of any pictures. I made a slideshow of 275 pictures. Oh my goodness, it immediately was a balm for my pain. I can sit and watch it, or just see a picture when I work. It brings my history back to me. I can remember Kent, where we were, what we were doing. I can see little details like knowing when I was giving him my own haircuts. I can see our wedding pictures. I see and remember holidays. It is much better than sitting down with a book. I know you can do the same thing with smart tv’s. I hope you try it and find as much relief from the pain as I do..
It was my friends who reminded me that those 3 yrs before her death were only a small part of her 89 yrs. They reminded me that Mom was a mother to all. She took our friends in and treated them like her own. I just had a man say to me, who had a great mother, that he and his 4 brothers said if they couldn't have had their Mom for a mother, they woukd have wanted Mrs E. What a tribute.
Yes, been going thru old pictures too. Nice memories, huh.
