My wife died on my birthday two years ago, and as devastating as that is and was, I won't ever forget the day she died. Does anyone share this same experience or know anyone who's spouse or partner died on their birthday?
My oldest sibling died on my youngest siblings birthday
my children's father was my first love and we remained close for many years even though the marriage was short..... and often stormy. He died last year and there was some disagreement among the family about the burial arrangements. He ended up being buried on my birthday.
my daughter told me that the last time she saw him he thought she was me.
My grandma (maternal) died on her birthday. It’s just been over a year now. She had a thing about dates, but it was right before Christmas and I was traveling out of town. I had a feeling it was coming (she’d really spiraled downward her last year) but still... my last living grandparent.
When I was in middle school, my paternal grandmother died on my dad’s birthday. We were out for the day and came back to a phone call she had died. I think he felt his mom did it out of spite, but I don’t think it’s something people can really control (when it’s illness or old age).

I get this.
I remember thinking "Mom. PLEASE don't die on my birthday." She died one week before my birthday. Today is the 2nd anniversary of her death.
Losing someone you care about is sad enough without the anniversary date falling on another special day in your life. It's also especially difficult when birthdays fall on days where tragedy occurred. My birthday is always remembered now as the day the Challenger space vessel exploded.
My condolences antredd for the loss of your dear wife.
