Missing loved ones at xmas..

[user123]

Christmas or no Christmas, I still miss my twinbrother every day, he died of a brain haemorrhage when we were 19, and oddly I blacked out at the same time, even though I was already in London at the time. I heard what happened when I got to work late that day, my mother had rang the work place...a horrible, horrible time.

But I don't think any of our loved ones would want this, the wobbling the tooth of grief, the getting into it all more just because it's Christmas, or any other anniversary. Not that I manage to be level about it all the time, far from it, but I also know that I have a choice, and choosing life, gratitude and happiness and enjoying what ever we can enjoy, in any circumstances, well that is the best about being human and alive.

Lost Mum 6 years ago, a knock the door at 3.25am and two police to tell me my Dad had passed away suddenly at home this was 3 years ago. I had to sell the family home, me being very local and that is one of the toughest things I,ve ever had to do

Two brothers to die for.

Yes it does get easier but sometimes you have a moment where something clicks and theres this rush of emotion from nowhere.

Heartfelt sympathy to you guys who had a recent loss and for everyone else who have lost family over the years.

My sincere thoughts go to all who have posted.
I didn't get on well with my Mum and had little to do with her until she was diagnosed with cancer. I started to get closer to her and then she passed on 28th Dec. It sort of puts a dampner on Christmas for me and my sis.

All very sad.

Never be ashamed to let it out and have a cry.

Lost my father a good few years ago, after not having contact for 20 years. Oddly enuff I was going to send him a fathers day card. He died a month before.

every time I hear this song Col, everything else is put on the back burner, my eyes well up and unahamedly weep ( as they are doing now) I was only 3 years old when Carol died, yet She's my earliest memory, cuddling me in Beaumont Hospital, calling me "Her little fatman" (We'd both been on medication), me for non life threatning pneumonia, Carol, for a few more months life with radio/chemo therapy, She really did have the face of an angel, and I know God forbidding, we'll smile again together some day
