We show love in own way

Dear June

I LOST my husband 13 years ago and I don’t feel I was a very good wife.

I still miss him and want to tell him I am so sorry for not always being there.

I know he loved me and I loved him, but I did not show it in the way I should have.

Chrissie, Stockport.

Every individual shows their emotions in many different ways.

For some, the words “I Love You” accompanied by a big hug can come very easily. For others, it can be difficult to express their feelings so freely and they often feel uncomfortable with such a personal invasion if they are of a reserved nature.

We are all different and show our love for those we care about in our own way.

To me, actions speak far louder than words.

When you have the support of a reliable friend by your side in times of need, words aren’t required.

Your husband showed his love with words as well as actions, as that was his character.

You showed your affections towards him differently, in a way pertaining to your character.

There is no right way to show love, only your way.

Your husband would have accepted you for who you were and knew you loved him.

We all carry guilt, in varying degrees, for what we think we should have or could have done regarding a lost loved one.

This is a very normal emotion we all experience after a loss.

He knows how much you love and miss him.
