I'm struggling myself as it approaches December 23rd, the day of my Mama's passing. It's been 10 years since she's been gone but in some ways it feels like yesterday.
Also, December 25th, will be 10 years since my son has called me. So, this year is especially hard for me emotionally.
Suggestion read “Mourning Song” by Joyce Landoff. It’s the green book online. That will help you with your grief and letting go. Just remember all the fond memories you have of her and all the things you done with her. I loved the book. I read it five times. I have lost my parents, grandfather. and my ex husband from abuse. He is still living. Try that. Hugs
So many sad and lonely stories here but the thing we all have in common is being here to support, love and lean on each other. If you notice there are no two stories the same but they all pull at your heart strings or they did mine.
Donna I think it is more than S.A.D. that is hitting you and everyone, I believe it is this time of year when we should be celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
Kali you know I love you and pray that you will feel much better soon and your sleep will be very restful.
Susan Marie you are so sweet and always try to build us up. I know what you mean about our parents, grandparents and I have three siblings that have passed on and my oldest brother has been gone three years and it is still very rare for me as he was my go to person that loved me unconditionally.
Stephen so sorry and I know there is nothing I can say to help you except I am sure she would want you to be happy.
Paula I know part of what you feel since our daughter signed her two boys over to her ex in-laws not long after she had a baby die and we have had to try and learn to live without them, their spouses and our great grandchildren they have had.
Sami so sorry about your Dad and I was a Daddy’s girl and I still remember our last Christmas together in 1992 so I know how you are feeling.
I am sorry this was so long but it just showed up in my notifications and I didn’t want to miss anyone with replying in this comment.. we all have to remember that this is why we joined this site and that was to share and to support and love each other
Hugs and I pray that God touches each one of us during this time..
My condolences to everyone who has lost someone, whether by death or estrangement! ❣️❣️❣️
Thanks
