This is my first Christmas without my lovely wife. She passed away at home on the 12th night ,( January 6th) so this time of year is very sad.
I was completely floored for the first couple of months and although i miss her terribly, I’m getting on with life.
Its really strange how the mind works. I gradually learned not to rely on anyone to help me through the grief and that urged me on. I’m not dwelling on the end of her life, but think about how lucky we were to find each other and have almost 40 happy years together.
Im spending Christmas with my son and daughter in law and my toddler grandson.
I see my wife in my son and grandson and find comfort that she lives through them.
I hope you all have the best Christmas that you can have .

I’m trying to do as you’ve done and focus on how lucky I was to have had what I had, 18 wonderful funny happy loving years with Luie.
It’s not easy because the void is huge and the future looks so empty.
It was only six weeks ago, so I know it’s early days. Unfortunate that we’ve all got the Christmas hurdle to get over.
I wish I was looking forward to it but I’m really not!
