I am on Christmas 2 without my precious David. It has been my 9 grndchildren that helped the most. I realized while i was with them the fog lifted because i was in the land of the living. You will always grieve for your beloved but being with friens and family makes this life a purpose.
Be joyful this Christmas

Absolutely lost too. Everything you say, I can hear’. First Christmas for me alone. I am trying to bat away’ invites out, I just want to say no, but that doesn’t seem to be enough,for other people.I am doing it for other people rather than myself. Your husband’s birthday on Christmas Day, I don’t know what to say, I am sorry. I say to my beloved, one day closer to being with you’ every day, that’s the certainty I hold with

My 6th Christmas as well M50 ,Going through all the motions of trying to act as though I’m going to have a lovely time but really wishing Pete was still here. Found his last Christmas to me and the wording was lovely… Wishing you a peaceful time. Jenny

This will be the second Christmas without my wife of 46 years, I have a son and daughter and three grandchildren,quite a few friends too but yesterday was was probably the worst day I’ve ever lived,so desperately lonely,today has begun a little better, there is no magic wand to swish these feelings away,we all must do our best to get on with our lives .god have mercy on all of us who grieve
