Need suggestions for Valentines Day to get past personal tragedy. Ideas for Valentines Day activity this year?
I made funeral arrangements for my soul-mate on Valentines Day several years ago after her unexpected death. My current girlfriend, whom I have been dating for a couple of years, understands this and has never pushes me to do much on that day. I want to move on but still have a rough time when Valentines Day rolls around. Suggestions?

Wow that sucks man I feel for you. I too have suffered through alot of tragedy in my life and found thAt the key to pull through the **** is to think about others. In this case obviosly ur girlfriend. Think about just how much this day means to her, we men may not care as much about vday but the girls do, and seeing how she doesnt push on the most romantic day of the year I'd say u got ur self a good girl there so instead of thinking about the past think about ur present with her other wise u may lose her to. So let her know how much u appreciate that and how much u love her, make this day all about her. Hope this helps

It's time to get over it. That may sound rough, but it's not all about you. Treat your current girlfriend with the respect and attention she deserves. Don't punish her just because you never learned how to cope with death. Don't make her live in the shadow of you deceased ex girlfriend. That's a belittling way to torture her and give her an inferiority complex. Stop making your current girlfriend depressed every Valentines Day. She may say she doesn't care, but she does. So man up and take her out to the best Valentines night she's ever had.

First of all... I'm so sorry to hear you had to say goodbye to someone you held so close to your heart. I know that loosing someone you love is one of the hardest things to do. I too have had to say my goodbyes. There is one thing I can suggest to you and it may not be easy. I never remebered( on purpose) the date. It was a day (days of sadness) I never wanted to relive. Let it go and live this Valentine's Day to the fullest. Dates mean nothing. The fond memories of your loved one is what you should focus on. Set a new meaning for Valentine's day this year and years to come. Good Luck and God Bless
