I am dreading tomorrow - Page 4

Please know that you are not alone and well understood. Just today I was thinking “I just want to go to bed and stay there for a few days.” In the last seven weeks I have had my mother pass away, my DS get married, and my DD move away to begin job. The extended family will probably fade. Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine and a door will open..,,,

Sometimes there aren't words of comfort, time eases our pain of loss. It never goes away completely, but the burden becomes smaller. I know from experience. The "firsts" of the holidays without our loved ones are the hardest, and as the years pass, it does get easier.

I find myself now practicing traditions that my deceased loved ones started. It makes me feel that part of them is still with me.

As others have said, your time to heal is just that: YOUR time. Do things that are manageable for you. There is no right or wrong, just what you are comfortable with.

Maybe as each year passes, you'll find a newfound joy, even if a small one, in the holiday season again. Our loved ones would want us to, we have to believe!

Maybe you should do the holidays how you want them done like cooking your own food at Christmas. You might have to make some new traditions but there is nothing wrong with that. I think the important thing is to do things that will bring some joy to your heart and allow you to enoy the family you do have with you.

@Andrewsgrandma, totally understand. Try and get through it, it will give others a memory too. Things just change, we can't control that. This might be a rough year, maybe next year will be a bit better. Hugs to you.

I understand your pain. I hate the time from the middle of November until January 2. I know you feel the loss all year but it just seems from Thanksgiving through Christmas it is just harder.

I hope you make some happy memories today. Time is fleeting. Don't forget to take pictures.

I agree that the family unit is falling apart. It is sad. I pray that today will bring you some sort of healing touch and special blessing. May God grant you comfort and peace.

I know how you feel the people I love most are gone and the people that will be at Thanksgiving really do not care if I am at the table or not. I really do not like holidays anymore and I know that is sad.
