Sad, reflective.

When my grandmother died.

Everyone in this forum seems to have suffered so much, I've been lucky enough not to have had much experience with death...

The memory that makes me feel melancholy is about breaking a wonderful girl's heart... very sad...

When I think about my late husband ( I am married now and never know how to refer to him) anyways, when I do things w/ my hubby that he always wanted like buying a house. When the kids reach milestones he never got to see. That makes me melancholy. I get survivors guilt I guess.

I have no idea how to answer this since the definition I've looked up of "melancholy" is a feeling of thoughtful sadness.

I was going to answer my parents passing on, which seems the most obvious, but really that wasn't melancholy. That was utter depression.

But then you mean "looking back", and really now I look upon them more as a celebration of their lives so I don't have melancholy thinking of them. So it's a tricky one really. I got nothing!

The memory of losing two of my children to miscarriages.

when my first bf broke up with me

 

[flopstock]

Hearing my father died and not being sad about it. I actually felt worse about my lack of emotion then I did about his death.

 

[Siphorous]

The memories of late 2006/early 2007 make me melancholy. Someone I had an affection for and allowed myself to get close. Too close. It's a shame it was never really shared despite what she said.

When I think of my nanny.

July 5, 1977. Leaving a farm home that I loved and moving to town. Every July 5, I get a little bluesy.

Both my grandparents passed, and that was heartbreaking. To answer the OP more definitely, I would say was when two high school friends were killed in a horrible car accident about a month after I had my son. I couldn't help thinking about the two beautiful lives that were lost, only 19. They affected so many other lives in their deaths and it really made me think about how lucky I am to be alive and how lucky I am to have a happy healthy child.
