I’m so sorry for both your losses. I lost my mum at Easter and this will be my first Christmas without her, so I too will be lighting a candle at 7pm on Christmas Eve.

This will be my first Christmas without Mum, it was her favourite time of year. As a single parent she always made sure that we had the things that we needed and sometimes, the things that we wanted!
Like the idea of lighting a candle at the same time as other people. I’m a firm believer in sending healing energy into the universe!

Xmas eve was our quite time together to open our presents stuff our faces and raise a glass or two before the bedlam on Christmas day. My darling husband wont be with me this year my first Xmas alone since he passed away 5 months ago. I cant cope with Xmas this year but the idea of lighting a candle for my darling husband on our special day will give me great comfort so count me in any time suits .Take care everyone bless you all.

Hi, I’ve just joined here to day. I too will be without my mum for 5e first time this Christmas. I’m really struggling, I’ve lit so many candles for her already so it’s sounds like a really good idea for me to do.

Hello,
Thanks for the reminder about the Christmas Eve candle. I had forgotten about it but have made myself a reminder now. I think it is a beautiful idea. Christmas last year was only 6 months after my husband died. That candle somehow helped me through, however silly that sounds. My family lit candles too after I told them about it, so that was nice.
On a lighter note, I found a candle-in-a-jar online. It made me chuckle because it said - ‘Goodbye 2020. You were sh.t!’
My husband would have loved it!
I hope you, and everyone on here has as good a Christmas as possible.
Thanks again, AnnR x
