Other than my husband, my family is all gone. But I am thankful that I had them, appreciate and treasure those times, but don't think so much about it that it gets me down. Why would I? Life goes on. Live it or miss out!

There are still things to enjoy and do, and. it is different, but I'm still here and I'm going to make the most of every minute I can, especially as long as hubby and I are together! But we have assured one another that someday life will go on single--and we've promised to do the best we can even then.

I can't predict the future, I can't live in the past, but today is a blessing to be savored.

@Jordan2 Yes, she probably doesn't realize how the holidays might be for some others. When I saw your title of the thread, I thought it was meaning how the DDS personnel always talk and ask questions when your mouth is being worked on and wide open and can't answer. 👩‍🔬

@SloopJohnB Isn't that the truth😹

I applaud your fortitude.

@Jordan2 Due to her age and she may have never suffered a great loss of life in her family circle. Most folks that have large families do not comprehend the absence of being without loved ones unfortunately. Hope that you can find folks to share the holidays with!

I am sure that when you were in your 20's you wouldn't relate either. Give her a break.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

It's not up to anyone to tell others how to grieve or how to live life while grieving.

@Jordan2 I understand. I work with many younger women, and they talk about such trivial complaints...often about their Mothers. I hear it and it just feels like a dagger. When people are young they often just don't have the perspective.

Many young people have experienced loss. My 17 & 20 yr old granddaughters have lost 2 great grandparents, both grandfathers, a grandmother, an uncle & a close friend who died in a car accident with her mom....they attended all the funerals, hold these deaths close to their hearts & never discuss them in casual conversations.

Not a surprise to me. I can mention VHS and Betamax to some in their 40's, and get "what's that". Some people maybe 10-15 years my junior, wonder why they have fewer friends. Guess they don't get, that with age, some friends don't live as long as them.

A lot of things come with added years and decades. For some, not much good, if you ask them. For others with similar circumstances, good, even great, when you ask them. Why? I have my own theory.
