The first year after a close loss is a very difficult time to get through, it gets a little easier after that, but life is of course forever changed. You're half way through that first year.
If you think you're being self indulgent (which I doubt anyone else does) then be self indulgent, no decent person would object to it anyway.

Hi Mark
You just keep being indulgent, keep marking off those milestones, you are allowed to, it's part of the process
You aren't alone on doing this, it shows Suzanne and the kids you will always remember her no matter the time frames

I know just how far you've come in those 6 months, Suzanne would have been very proud mate.

Mark, not been on the forum for a while, so very sorry for your loss. You were all super brave in such horrid circumstance. Sue sounded such a wonderful person. Sending love to you and your family. My thoughts are with you all. Mark x

Sorry for your loss. Someone spoke to me about my mothers death some years ago and he was so right.
You never get over a close ones death, you learn to live with it.
Life will get easier, but slowly. Cherish your memories.

My thoughts are with you all. Mark x Hi Dono, long time since I've heard from you, how's your son? Great lad. Thanks for your message mate, people told me the first year is the tough bit. The first time of everything "without Sue", her birthday was the 28th January.
I've just the one big hurdle left- the anniversary of her passing 27th April, but the kids are good, Sarah went back to Australia last November, our 3 boys are still at home and doing great.
Cheers, Mark

Cherish your memories. Thanks Chris, sorry to hear you mum's no longer with us. I've lost both sets of parents - 3 of them died early in a 2 year period!
Thank you for the message, Mark

Hi Mark, so pleased you are coping well, I lost someone super close to me, and couldn’t manage the anniversaries etc I chose to erase those dates from my memory, well as best as possible.I’m not sure it was the best as it took me an eternity to come to terms with it. Hoping the boys are coping too. Max is doing ok ish, we have a brilliant relationship. Took him skiing for the first time this year. He loved it although he was proper crazy and my worry was that I wasn’t going to get him back to his mom in one piece. He’s been playing up with school, going late and even missing days. ( he lives with his mom my x ) had to come down heavy on him, trouble is he starts military college in September and I think he believes this last important home run of school isn’t important. I’ve just lost my Job which is harsh but is probably a blessing in disguise as it was a very toxic environment. Life’s twists and turns fingers crossed it will work out. Make sure you take time to do fun stuff Mark. All the very best Mark

27th April
I think this might shock a few of you
It's 1 year since Sue died, one more photo of her, with her mum and aunt.
IMG-20130908-WA0006
All the kids are good, we're all moving forward and living each day like it's our last!
Exactly what Sue wanted us to do.
I never properly thanked you all for your kind words and support through the darkest time of our lives.
Well I am now- thank you, you should all feel pretty pleased with yourselves
Cheers, Mark

A year on and I'm sure it's still very difficult but hopefully the pain is easing.

It just doesn't seem possible that a year has passed. They way you've managed to look forward rather than backwards is admiral, keep it up mate 👍

Time marches on Mark, still it's hard to believe a year has passed and this one sure has been crazy
All of us here with tears in our eyes doing our best to comfort a bloke the majority have never met except though words and pictures of bikes
You can still keep on remembering Suzanne for as long as you draw breath
You have probably found yourself talking to her and getting answers too, that's great keep talking and keep getting the answers
Keep on keeping on
Thinking of you all
Howard

Wow time has flown by, didn't think it had been a year, I can only echo others here, and hope you and yours are well currently, tough times when someone you love passes, it does get easier over time.
