V.upset; should I include wife's name on Xmas cards to kids?

I feel so stupid. been just over five months since my wife died from aggressive cancer. I can talk about the lead up to when she had her final week.

But when it comes down to the details of her final few days I get images and thoughts of how much she had to go through.

Now because this is my first year without my wife for Christmas  and new year, I'm  feeling so stupid about getting upset writing  on Christmas cards to my son and daughter, my minds just gone blank.

I don't know if I still need to inclued the wife as mum on there cards. I don't want them thinking I have forgot her already, which I know will never happen till the day I die..

I just can't think of what to put to inclued their mum. Any advice would  help.

  • Hi there ...

    I know that first time writting a card missing someone's name is a heart felt moment ...  and I'm sure your kids will feel just as lost wondering about leaving their mum's name off to ...

    Maybe you could write their names and a little message with love from you ... then at the end maybe something like "remembering mum at this time to"  

    It's always hard at first ... everything is a new "normal" and never easy ,.. you sound a very caring hubby and dad ... I'm sure she's looking down and very proud of you ... Chrissie  .....
