For this episode I talk about something many of us on this widowed journey know all too well—the anniversary effect, or what I like to call the lead-up to the death anniversary. For me, September 12 will always carry weight, but what I have learned over these past four years is that the emotions do not just show up on the date itself. They build quietly, weeks before, and sometimes in ways I do not expect.  This is a very emotional episode where I share my personal experience of the lead up period. Thank you for listening.  If you have any questions on this episode please reach out to me at widowsthatwine@gmail.com.
