Just Another Christmas
I am now going on on my 3rd Christmas without my Husband, I cannot stand to listen to Christmas Music as it brings me no joy or happiness.I wish I could just sleep from now until the next year. I have a family but it hurts so much to watch all the spouses hugging and kissing. I am the first of the family to lose a spouse, so no one gets why I don't feel any happiness. As Scrooge said, screw Christmas.

JO,
I was thinking about xmas cards and even gifts for co-workers before my sister passed, now I'm like fuck all that. I loved sending out cards and picking them out and all that and now nothing. I hate it will be like this for the rest of my life. Christmas will forever be tainted and joyless.

Jo says
her dad would have been eighty years old this Christmas. Together, they would have drunk a lot, until they were "pissed" or very drunk, in a happy way. Now, all December long she wants to get drunk to forget.
She can't deal with Christmas cards; she can't even say the words Merry Christmas anymore.
She can't write anymore; she has frozen up again. Christmas "kills" her every year.
In 2011, Christmas was great for her because her dad was still alive. He kept the whole of them going. A series of losses befell her starting in 2012, so many losses that she is terribly, terribly traumatized.
She says 2016 is going to be more hell.
Jo, don't be mad at me if you're not really a girl!! I think because you spell your name Jo instead of Joe.

I'm so very, very sorry for your pain.
My D has just died in August, 2015. He is my very soul; my love for him is as immense as worship. It's such a bowled-over, utter adoration, that it's not something I've ever been able to articulate to myself or others very well.
It's been 109 days. I am looking ahead to the three years you've suffered and fervently hoping for an early death.

Hilary,
My own family just doesn't get it why I want to die, they have never lost a spouse and the relationship my husband and I had was very unique and they know how close we were. The only thing I am thankful for is this wonderful web-site, chatting with people who understand.

"is griefshare a website like this?"
"Kali
I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
