Hello Everyone, I am reading your heartbreaking posts, and am so sorry for your pain. I lost my mother in 2012, to lung cancer, and it took years to ever really get into the Christmas spirit again. She loved Christmas, and I always helped decorate her house, and we made it so festive. My younger sister and I tried to carry on the traditions, and made the best of it because we had each other. Then in 2017, my precious younger sister was diagnosed with a rare cancer. She did quite well , however, until May of this year when she died suddenly, and my best friend was gone. This Christmas I mourn my sister and my mother. This is another “first” Christmas without a loved one, and no one else in the family can begin to understand how alone I feel. I shared the closest and most loving relationship with both of them. My younger sister and I bonded even closer after my mother’s death, and planned to grow old together. Now I face the new year alone. Christmas will be a dark day for me this year. Caring thoughts to all, Sister2 in Sadness
I’m sorry for your loss of your mom and sister . I couldn’t imagine how that would feal we as a family where close but have gotten even closer since mom passed away .my mom lost her mom to cancer and a neice and only a few months before mom passed away her younger brother passed away she didn’t even know what city he was in and missed him so much and tried to find out where he was she found out the day after he passed away through I phone call I felt so sorry for mom . I have started to think how mom must of felt over the years and how heartbreaking it was for her . But on the outside she was still so strong and wanted everyone else to enjoy Christmas every year there are presents at my mom’s and cards .she had her day planed to go out had her clothes ready . She had more to do in the future that would past Christmas this year .Try to be around your family they may not understand exactly how hard it is for you and all that you feal but it’s not good to be alone I don’t know what I would do if it was just me and I’m still very sad we all are .and even when I’m with other family members I still feel sad but I would be alot worse if I was to be alone .
Sending love to you x
Thank You Sam2018. My mom also lost a younger sister and later in her life, her older sister also died. I often thought how I could never be as strong as my mom, if I lost my younger sister. Now it has happened, and I am asking my mother to send me some of her strength to please help me through this. I am sorry for your pain too, and for everyone here, as we try to find some comfort in what will be a very “different” holiday this year. For me, sometimes it is better to be alone than with people who do not understand, and will only make it worse. I only want my sister and my mom back this year. There is no Christmas without them.
