    I lost my husband 8 years ago and I struggle to remember what he sounded like. I remember what he looked like but it is slowly starting to fade. I look at pictures and of course talk about him with the kids. Hopefully I will be able to convert some of the old videos with the kids as babies and I will get to see and hear him again, but honestly I don't really think I could handle it and I don't want to offend my current husband.

    My dad died 13 years ago today. If I think really hard I can remember his voice, the cologne he used to wear, his face, everything about him. I try to think about him a lot and I have a picture up of him in my house that I look at all the time. It really helps a lot. I understand how you feel though. I sometimes worry I will forget certain things about him too.

    For me it helped having a small memory box with pictures, mementos and a few other things in it. Pulling it out and just looking at what was in there helped with the healing and also helped with keeping the memory of my husband. I'm in a different place in my life now but I still pull it out every now and then.

    No need to feel bad or apologize for starting this topic. I don't see where anyone is hurt from this topic or where there is drama. I can't speak for everyone, but I replied because I know what it's like to lose a spouse and how important it is to be able to talk about it or asking how to deal with certain things. It's part of the healing process.
