                      Happy Thanksgiving to all. I am sitting here wishing those in pain to feel cared for and to know you will survive the overwhelming feelings of lose and emptiness. I wish I knew how to give you the peace and love most of us want. Peace and hugs.

                      I opted to stay home today even though my daughter invited me to join her and her family going to her in-laws. I feel accomplished though as I was working on a quilt, enjoying that and watching football games it's hard not to be in a good mood, except for the Packers losing. I choose to focus on what's good in my life instead of what is lacking or missing. Am I always upbeat, no, but I find the down times to happen less and less.

                      I was fine till my husbands two sisters decided to visit from Alaska, and California. Brought back memories of them saying good bye at the wake for him. The holidays are so hard for me, i just want to be alone

                      Put my tree up....first time in two years......then had a meltdown. Cried my eyes out for a couple of hours....put the rest of the decorations back in the totes and dragged them back out to the garage. I'm not even going to be here...the tree is enough.....and I've decided against Christmas cards this year too. I've heard the second year is the hardest......i'll get through it.

                      I agree. The Holidays are the hardest to get through and this is my first Christmas without my husband. I just put up my Christmas tree, because my kids wanted me too, but it was emotional hard to do it, but it’s up now, and that’s about how much I will decorate for Christmas this year. How does everyone feel like this Holiday. Is it true what they say that it will be easier as years goes by?

                      Yes, it does get easier as time goes by, time has a way of healing but you never forget the loss of a loved one. I lost my husband December 22,2007, he was burried between Christmas and New Years. It has been six years this Christmas, I miss him and think of him each day. It is still hard to enjoy the Holiday season, I try hard to keep busy with family and friends during Christmas. I lost my first husband when I was 31 yrs. old with three young children, I do understand what you're going through, trust it will get easier in time, stay strong and enjoy your family. 
                       
                      Peace and many Blessings to you.

                      I've now lived with my son for 12 years...I wouldn't have made it another _One_... 
                      (I was a Real Mess!!!...) 
                      if not for Him!!...(W- 7/98) 
                      I plod-along, now...still hoping to have One Last Chance at Love.... 
                      The 'Hope' was strong, at first...but it's been getting dimmer, over the last few years... 
                      ...deep breath....~ s i g h ~.... 
                      The first two years were Pure Hell...but... 
                      The more Empty Years that go by...the less real Hope I have left... 
                      Still plodding, though.... 
                       
                      HUGZ to All..!!

                      I know its hard, it's been 19 years worth of Holidays without my hubby, I clearly remember the first couple years being the hardest, I had to go through the emotions cause our children were young, I wanted them to have a good Christmas. 
                       
                      The Holidays was his favorite time of year, it took some time to get accustomed to celebrating either of them. 
                       
                      Time doesn't heal all wounds, it does take the edge off of the initial shock of losing someone, it also numbs some of the pain

                        If there comes a blizzard I will, no doubt, be here ... otherwise I will be with family and only have short amounts of time to pop in a "play" with my online family. 
                       
                      Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone.

                      Today is my wedding anniversary. I've made it through my birthday, Christmas, now the anniversary, and then NYE. December used to be my favorite month. That's why I wanted to get married in December. 
                       
                      It's not so much my favorite any more.

                      My holiday was O.K. for my mother was slowly dying. I knew the time was near for the way she was talking and eating. I bought her a box of her candy "chocolate covered cherries" she didn't even open them. She ate a little Christmas dinner and watched tv with me. Yesterday Dec. 29 she went to be with God. She past away in her sleep. She was living with me this past year. She was very sick.
