Hi, i can totally relate to this.
This is the 3rd Christmas without my Mum and its the worse one yet! Everything is different, even Christmas films i used to love don’t bring a smile.
Do you feel like you could just run away from it all?
Sending hugs your way.

Hi @Flowers1 My Dad also died last year so I too have had that dreaded year of firsts but like you said this one seems worse. Just wanted to reach out so you know you’re not alone. It’s that realisation that this new life is permanent I guess. Hope you get thru the day ok.

Oh yes. Third Christmas without Dad. Just the two of us for 30 years since Mum died. We had a tradition of watching three films regularly over Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Just cannot even start them. Everything feels so empty without Dad. Hugs!
