I’m sat here with the TV on and the Christmas tree lights wondering what 2024 will hold for me.
Since the end of September when I lost my husband of 47 years I have had most of the ‘firsts’ I have had his birthday, I had his ashes interred on our Wedding Anniversary, then Christmas, New Year and just to add to the pain it is 19 years tomorrow since my dad died New Years Day 2005.
I wasn’t going to stay up but my mind is in overdrive at the moment x

It’s definitely an overthinking night, no one knows what the year ahead holds, still many firsts a head. All we can do is keep going x

Similar situation for me too. My husband died suddenly in September, our anniversary was 4 days after the funeral, his birthday was 14th Dec and now Christmas and the New Year. It’s all too much. My mind is being bombarded by so many memories, some very happy ones and some images from September that I don’t want to have. Don’t know whether it would be better to go to bed or sit up and make a toast to him as I did on Christmas Eve. Neither will bring much comfort I’m afraid.
You’re right @Sah28 we’ll wake up in the morning, keep going and maybe feel stronger having got through this. X
