Question

[Lorenski]

my husband passed away last Thursday. We had planned an anniversary trip in May. My question is, should I still go and also do you think Disney would still give me an anniversary button? He loved Disney as much as I do and I really think I should go for both of us.

I'm so sorry. There are no better words. I can only assume that time will tell and you will know waht feels best.

Everyone will have their own thoughts on this but I think you should go if you're up for it, especially since you both shared a love for Disney. And if you want a anniversary button, get one! Just go to a Guest Relations in any of the parks or DTD and ask!!

I am sorry for your loss, and I think you should go to Disney and remember the good times.

My deepest condolences for your loss. You should definitely still go. And yes, the will give you a button, just go to guest services, or ask at your Disney resort when you check in.

So sorry for your loss. I would definately go, for 2 reasons. 1. For your own peace of mind, sort of a regrouping. 2. To honor your anniversary and memories of being there together.

I think they will absolutely give you a button. But, I would be careful about wearing it if your are feeling especially emotional, because the CMs are likely to wish you "Happy Anniversary" when they see it. It may make you smile, but they may catch you at just the right, or wrong, moment and have the opposite effect. I would just go prepared with a box of tissues and try to focus on the good memories. Good luck.

tHanks to all of you for your kind words. i don't think I' going to wear the anniversary button so much as add it to the small memory box I am making for my husband. I think i am going to stick to the plans we made together and go, he would have wanted it.

I am real sorry to hear of your loss. I agree with a lot of the other pp's in that a vacation might be the best medicine for you right now.

I think that as time passes you will be better prepared to make this decision. I think it is a lovely way to celebrate the wonderful memories the two of you shared, but I also am very sure it will be bittersweet. I would be certain to keep an eye on the boards for those who will be there during the same time that you will and if you feel the need for company go to a dismeet or just meet up with someone for a cup of coffee. Grieving is a step by step process and sometimes along the way we need a thoughtful word or gesture from others to keep us in the right frame of mind.
Treasure your memories and the love you shared for disney, I think this , while it will be painful, will also help you to heal....(((HUGS)))

I know this isn't really the same thing, but my dad and I went to WDW immediately after my mom died (within 2 weeks.) It was a much needed time of reflection. Maybe you need to go there and do the things you and your husband would have done together.

I will be there in May on my first solo trip. Let me know if you need someone to meet and talk to while you are there.
