Thanks for commiserating.

I’m not cheery at all. And saying yizkor doesn’t cheer me up either.

In fact, I’d asked a shaila at first why we even say yizkor during YO”T as it makes many feel sad, as evidenced by eye moisture…

I’d said yizkor a week after my significant one passed since the rav holds that one doesn’t wait the year (unless one would carry on in shul to the extent it would disturb others).

There’s no one here with whom to celebrate
