What a lovely idea @amelie_sgran. It will bring us all closer on Christmas Eve when we all need that closeness to help us through the days ahead of us.

Amelie, I think the thread it a wonderful idea and everyone can feel as if we are altogether when we light our candles in memory of our loved ones. Would people just like to put - in loveing memory of my husband / wife etc or actually put their name.? It sounds so special. Thank you for coming up with the idea.

Lovely idea. This will be my 2nd Christmas without my husband but in some ways I dread it more than last year. It would be so good to be closer to others and share our candles.

I agree and will join in . . . . . Roll on January . My angel Gary loved Cheistmas and had the house ( in doors) beautiful. A Warm glow everywhere . It was a delight coming home from work and lighting up our living room and conservatory . Just thinking about it hurts my already broken heart . He will be telling me to get the trees up and make the place cosy as he is watching me not do it anywhere near as good as he does ! Lol. We are all suffering and this time of year , for me anyway , doesnt help . Lighting a candle together sounds a great thing to do xxxx
Kindest regards

What a lovely idea, I will be doing this in memory of my husband Bob who passed in August. Feeling very lost and dreading Christmas.

Welcome Col2.
We all know how you feel. Hopefully, when we all light our candles, we will feel a bit less alone. Stay strong x

Hello Co12. I am so very sorry that you have needed to join us all here but you are very welcome. My wife died of cancer the month before your Bob so we are at the same stage in this awful process. I weep for her constantly and will certainly be lighting a candle at 7 pm, thinking of her and all my dear friends on SR. On a slightly lighter note, having heard of my situation the local "Meals on Wheels"team rang yesterday to tell me that they will be delivering a meal for me one Christmas day. Such kindness. I have met many such gestures since my darling Gill died. I hope you are getting support as well.
With a big hug, Peter

This is a beautiful idea. For me, this Christmas is one which I am not looking forward to. The thought of knowing that there will be other people lighting a candle for their loved one will give me some strength. Thank you all.
