The ‘Firsts’

Hi @Davaire

I’m so sorry to hear about your soulmate and how you’re feeling. It may be helpful to have a read of our article ‘coping with grief at Christmas’ - Coping with grief at Christmas | Sue Ryder - for some advice and ideas on how you might choose to approach it this year.

Remember, there is no pressure to feel one way or another and please be kind to yourself by taking things at your own pace. Letting others know how you’d like to approach Christmas this year may be helpful too.

Lots of members of our community light a candle at 7pm on Christmas Eve to remember their loved ones; if you would like to be a part of this, please find out more on the thread below:

Please keep reaching out to the community - you’re not alone.

Take good care,

Kate
