Hi Lindsay, i think the toughest Christmas, birthday & anniversaries are always the first one without your loved one. I can’t say it gets easier, it doesn’t, but you somehow learn to live with the loss and new chapters in your life begin which help to fill that void, although i’ll admit it, it never completely goes. But Your mum hasn’t left you, she is still in your heart and will always, always be with you. The greatest gift you can give her this Christmas is to try and enjoy the holiday as much as you possibly can. Spend time with your loved ones, make memories and tell them how much they mean to you. You are not alone. Xx
Hi everyone,
My lovely mum passed away last Tuesday and I am absolutely devastated beyond belief. Her funeral is on Thursday and I am dreading it. I am afraid I’m going to make a show of myself as I’m so full of grief & upset. Christmas is all around us & it seems everyone else is happy & excited about the festivities. I feel so bitter and angry that we have lost my lovely mum to cancer & people are out partying, Christmas shopping & putting the Christmas tree up, it’s so unfair. After mums funeral on Thursday, it will be expected that we carry on with life, get the shopping done, put the tree up etc but I just don’t know how I am going to cope! I don’t want Christmas without my mum! My mum loved Christmas and we spent it every year together. Has anyone got any advice for me please? Thank you xx
