Hello everyone.

I would just like to say I'm grateful that none of us are alone, and even if others don't understand our tears this Christmas, we sure do! It's no doubt been a horrible day for many of us, and despite my loved ones best efforts, my brave face was just a mask!

I also have to agree with Melissa... I do feel the big pangs of jealousy when others speak about their Mums!!!

Well I wish you all the best, and let's hope 2012 is better than last year..

God Bless x

Hello all and I am greeting Christmas morning in tears. Sue, thank your for your comments so much! My mother was one of those people who lived her faith. I am focusing today on the meaning of Christmas. No gifts or parties. No decorations. I am going to spend the day with my sister.

Suzanne Davis - I know Exactly how you feel. I feel that way many days myself. But know that, if you are still here it is because you have not finished the journey you set for yourself. In due time, you will be reunited with all of the ones you have loved. Cry when you need to but stay strong. One thing I have done is start a journal I call "Dear Mom". I write her letters at least once a week and it has been cathartic for me.

Christmas morning...hello my friends. I say Happy Birthday Jesus. No Santas's and Christmas shopping here. No more cooking beside mom. It's the birth of Christ. In celebrating only this...it is meaningful and does not feel empty for me. How I miss mom. I was out the other day and I looked at all of the people around me and thought I wonder what is going on in their world? Going to a friends for dinner today. Does anyone else just view the world completely different now? Have the best day you can. You are in my thoughts today. Love Sue

Lisa, same here; I'm still up.........today has been a very tough day for me; if you read my other posts, you'll get an idea. I don't even want to celebrate Christmas, if not for my daughter; I would spend the whole day in bed. Hope your day goes well. Your daughter is at the age where she understands Christmas and all the traditions, my baby is two and thank God for that, I don't know how I would cope with Christmas if she were older.

I know Melissa, and people talk about it so innocently. It makes me so sad. I'm feeling worse, knowing home is not home anymore, with my mom and dad gone and the brother who was to inherit the family home too passed away one year before my mom. I'm so sorry Melissa that you all are not feeling well. My baby had been sick for the last three weeks and it was also a distraction for me. Now I have all the time to think about my loss. I have a co-worker who's mom is in a nursing home and she falls often and gets sick. My co-worker is so fed up with her and shows no emotion when her mom is sick but the minute her pets get ill; its like the end of the world. Isn't it ironic that those who love their parents so much don't get to have them around long enough? I hope you all feel better soon and have a very merry Christmas. God Bless.

Hi everyone ~ it's 1:50 in the morning (Christmas Day) and I just can't sleep.  It took forever for my 10 year old daughter to fall asleep and since she still believes in Santa, I had to wait until she fell asleep to finish up some last minute details.  Now that she is asleep, I can't sleep.  It's been 33 days since my mom passed away and I can't believe I will be facing my first Christmas without her.  I really think I have a brick wall up in regards to my emotions, because it's like I can't cry or won't allow myself to feel.  I'm excited for my daughter, but the thought of opening presents without my mom is surreal.  I could not celebrate Christmas, but that is not what my mom would have expected out of me, but not sure what I would be celebrating if it wasn't for my daughter.  So with that said, Merry Christmas to all who celebrate this holiday, otherwise, Happy Holidays.  Hugs, Lisa

Mercy,

I don't just get upset I get down right jealous when people talk about their moms.

I'm sorry, your having a tough time, I think me and all my kids being sick is helping keep my mind off everything. I mean really I'm not even thinking about Christmas I yeah sure I'll go through the motions of things for the kids but we all feel horrible.

My mom died labor day weekend too. The last few months have been a blur. In the beginning I had lost my will to live, I still don't want to be on this earth but I know my two year old daughter needs me. She's the only reason why I'm alive today. This has been a very bad day, I went to my hair stylist house and she was all smiles, doing last minute christmas stuff like cooking and wrapping gifts talking about going to her moms place for christmas. This put me over the edge and ruined my whole day. I'm not celebrating Christmas this year, I just can't, the pain is unbearable.

I lost my dear mother Labor Day weekend this year. She was 88 so it should not have come as a surprise, but it did. While she had not been exactly sick for the last few years, she had not really been well. She went into the hospital in August with kidney problems that were causing her to go into congestive heart failure. The decision as made to put her on dialysis and she was moved to a nursing home until she was strong enough to go home. She worked hard to get strong as she really wanted to just be home. Just 3 days before her passing she was evaluated and the doctors thought she would be going home within a week. Then the call came that she had passed away. So, as you see we were surprised. She had been doing so well but I guess her heart just could not take it. This, along with other factors, has completely thrown my life into turmoil. She and I were particularly close and I was there every other weekend to spend time with her and run errands. I am trying to just get through this holiday with my sanity intact. It doesn't help that I just started a new job that has turned out to be the worst decision I have made in a long time. I am constantly in tears, or on the verge of them. I am either too sick to my stomach to eat, or I binge. I remember going through many of these same things when my dad died, but I am not 8 years old anymore. I feel like I should be handling this better but all I want to do is sleep.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
