Today has been so difficult missing my dad so much and peoples talk at work about Xmas has made it worse I don’t want anything to do with Xmas as I know it’s never going to be the same without my dad …. Will be ten months in a few weeks and I just feel worse as each month goes by … I hate the phase times a healer not to me it isn’t !!

I’m sorry yesterday was so tough, @Lou1985. I hope today is a little easier on you.
It’s OK not to celebrate Christmas, and treat it like any other day. This time of year can be especially difficult when we’re missing someone, but please know that it’s important to do what’s right for you.
If you’re struggling to cope with the sadness, anger or any other emotion brought up during this time, we’re here to help. To find out more information, visit our coping with grief at Christmas page.
Take good care, you’re not alone.

Hi Lou,
Time isn’t a healer. It just eases it a little. Well that’s how I feel anyway. It’s been almost 3 yrs for me in Dec since I lost my mum and I haven’t found my grief has healed yet.
One day at a time is another saying but it’s so hard to get through.
I found that planning just one or two things to do each day helped survive that day. Just small things. That’s all you can do and it’s enough.
You will get through all this even though at the moment it seems impossible.
Sending love and strength to you
