Thanks Janebee I have up/down days more down lately as it’s coming up to the dreaded Xmas, but have to try and smile for grandchildren doesn’t get easier as I’m alone most of the time don’t know how to tell my family as half don’t talk to each other and grandchildren usually go to dad Xmas , it’s been like that for years have a new neighbour he lives on his own building model airplane feel sorry for him as he’s got onset Parkinson’s, but I’m just trying to combat loneliness after 40 years married its slowly draining me

I am in total need of this, but trying to explain my grief to my sister, would be the equivalent of telling the milkman (sorry, person)!

I totally understand the ‘dreaded Christmas’ at least I don’t have to act happy because if no family. Not sure if that is good or bad

Hi that is really awful. I think I am finding it more difficult with the run up to Christmas, looks like I will be on my own this year. Fed up of all the cheery adverts with lots of people sat around tables

Agree I feel physically sick at these Xmas ads, and they seem continuous this year, I try telling myself it’s two days and soon be as far away as ever,
The cold weather, and dull days don’t help, such a difficult time
Sending hugs x
