Sometimes things just never seemed to go the right way. No matter how hard you wanted to think of something else, divert your attention to a different topic, occupy your mind with anything else, it didn't seem possible.

When your mind decided to think about something, it kept it and it dwelled on it causing you to overthink things which rarely ended well.

Overthinking was a regular occurrence, it's not as if it was a one off and the subject was just something you couldn't get out of your head for whatever reason.

A lot of the time, it never really caused you that much disturbance due to you still being able to multitask with your thoughts so that it didn't affect what you were doing, however that didn't seem to be the case currently.

You had been holed up in the bedroom you shared with your husband for the past couple of hours, not wanting to leave the room and face the outside world.

For some reason, your mind had been flooded with memories of the past and it hit you hard resulting in a lot of tears which you tried to keep quiet so as not to alert your husband, Bill.

Obviously, Bill cared deeply about you, as did you with him, but you didn't want to worry him with what you thought was just something a bit silly.

"Love, what's wrong?" your husband's voice shocked you, and you turned around to see him leaning against the doorframe with concern written across his face.

Frantically you wiped your eyes "H-How long have you been standing there?" you asked cautiously.

Bill chuckled and pushed himself off of the doorframe into a standing position "Long enough Love" he answered in a soft tone.

He walked into the room, and sat down on the bed next to you, before wrapping his arms around your waist. He pulled you down onto the bed, resulting in the two of you cuddling.

"Why have you been crying Love?" he queried, pressing a kiss to your forehead as he looked down at you.

You shook your head and buried it into Bill's chest "It's not important" you dismissed your husband's question, still not wanting to worry him.

You heard him sigh, and he lifted your head up so that you were looking up at him "Of course it is, but I won't push you" he stated.

"I know you won't" you sighed as you spoke to him "It's just...today has decided to be the day that I'm reminded of everything that has happened and everyone we lost" you admitted, looking your husband in the eye.

Bill pulled you into his chest, pressing multiple kisses to the top of your head in comfort "It's hard Love, for all of us; the hurt won't ever disappear and some days will be harder than others...but the important thing is that we remember the good times we had and the good things about those we lost" he gently explained whilst rubbing small circles on your hips "But look at the bright side – Love, we got through it, and we can continue to live out our lives whilst making sure that everyone knows who we lost as well as the amazing things they did"
