My wife passed four days before my birthday this past October, and I wonder if I will ever have a happy birthday again. I hope so. I think I can make it there.

So sorry for your loss. This group is full of people who have gone through such a loss. I found the site a few weeks after losing my husband in June 2018. The site and this group have been my refuge. I hope you find as much kindness and empathy as I have.

My husband passed in October 2018. Thanksgiving was our favorite holiday. We would plan a full menu to cook all day on thursday and enjoy eating for the rest of the holiday. We werent into retail therapy. Just nesting. Shortly after he died from cancer, i joined this site. @robecology shared the advice that we owe it to the deceased to live our best lives since they cant. This advice has stayed with me. To that end, i am making one of my favorite recipes i discovered for one thanksgiving feast that we made together.

That's how I feel. I know she would want me to be happy again. I know she would be proud of me for how far I've come already.
condolences. grief is painful whenever, but particularly so when it overlaps what should be a happy event or fond memories.

Wow, so sorry, my husband died a few days before Thanksgiving in 2002, I know that dose not compare to when she died, but it still reminded me, our birthdays were only 3 days apart, and we always celebrated on the same day, together, usually camping, I still miss him to this day.
