Hello,
Today would have been our 16th wedding anniversary. So far, I am doing okay, but the day has not really begun yet. Somehow, I just feel really alone right now. I am blessed with wonderful friends and a wonderful church, but I am not sure if I should let people know what today is so they give me some space, or do I just keep it to myself to get through the best way possible. The past 2 years I was able to avoid scheduling anything for the day, but it was not possible this year. Has anyone done anything special to honor the day by themselves? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Fortunately, my premed classes keep me swamped, but eventually I have to come up for air and think. Thank you so much for listening.

Ah, Rabbit. I'm sorry. And happy anniversary. I wish you could be celebrating together.
My first one without him, I opened up a bottle of wine we'd been given for our wedding. He wasn't a wine drinker so we had never had it. It was awful. It had turned.
Our anniversary is Dec. 28, and we always forgot it what with the busy-ness of the season. We'd look at each other a few days later and say...wasn't it just our anniversary? I remember now each year but I don't do anything special, or mention it to others. I guess I keep it for myself and to myself.
Although, it would be nice if someone would remember and talk about him with him, or talk about our wedding day, or something. But it seems it might make others uncomfortable or might make them feel as though they're being hurtful by reminding me.
So I keep it in my heart, and thankfully, the busy-ness of the season works for me, now.

Thank you so much for sharing. A bad day has become terrible complete with police intervening in a serious situation. Thank you so much for the story about the wine, also. It gave me a smile.

Well, considering who the couple was who had given us the wine and the matching glasses, it wasn't really a surprise. It was a sign--or would have been if we'd opened it sooner.
But what's this about a serious situation that required police? Are you all right?

I am okay right now. I am a volunteer therapist along with being the director of a free health clinic. One of our mentally ill patients became violent which is a situation I have handled numerous times, however I was not on my game today. My staff did not handle the problem well making a bad situation even worse. To top the cake, a board member stopped by and chose to lecture me infront of the staff who fanned the flames during the situation. I ended up in my office sobbing at my desk. I am exhausted, but can't leave work until 9:00 tonight. I have an organic chemistry test scheduled for tomorrow that I am begging to have rescheduled. There is no way I can make it through a test. To top it off, I was scheduled for five therapy sessions today. I canceled most and cut the others very short. It feels so good just to share with objective people.

Wow, that's terrible. Especially that a board member chewed you out in front of everybody during the situation.
I've sat on boards before, and it was never, ever within our jurisdiction to chew out a volunteer or paid staff, especially not in front of others. A board member just sits in oversight of the director and the mission of the organization.
I'm sorry you're having such a bad time. It'll pass, but it still has to be gotten through.
