Hello all,

I feel so lonely after a big celebration like birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas. My mom used to stay a few nights during this time. Christmas going through the normal motions for the kids was a blur for me this yr. I'm glad I took pics Because honestly it has all ran together in my mind. It was not the same for me.. And it hurts so bad. A big piece of my world is gone..I feel lost and lonely without my mom. But I feel lonely alot..I try and talk with people on the phone when I'm lonely like I used to with my mom. But no one truly listen to me like she did. I hate feeling this lonely. My kids are all sick, I'm still not feeling well. This does not help. I wish I could feel normal again but I'm not.I don't even enjoy doing things I once did. It really took alot out of me to try and make thing Christmas happy for my children. I miss my mom so so much.

Hello everyone.

I would just like to say I'm grateful that none of us are alone, and even if others don't understand our tears this Christmas, we sure do! It's no doubt been a horrible day for many of us, and despite my loved ones best efforts, my brave face was just a mask!

I also have to agree with Melissa... I do feel the big pangs of jealousy when others speak about their Mums!!!

Well I wish you all the best, and let's hope 2012 is better than last year..

God Bless x

Hello all and I am greeting Christmas morning in tears. Sue, thank your for your comments so much! My mother was one of those people who lived her faith. I am focusing today on the meaning of Christmas. No gifts or parties. No decorations. I am going to spend the day with my sister.

Suzanne Davis - I know Exactly how you feel. I feel that way many days myself. But know that, if you are still here it is because you have not finished the journey you set for yourself. In due time, you will be reunited with all of the ones you have loved. Cry when you need to but stay strong. One thing I have done is start a journal I call "Dear Mom". I write her letters at least once a week and it has been cathartic for me.

Christmas morning...hello my friends. I say Happy Birthday Jesus. No Santas's and Christmas shopping here. No more cooking beside mom. It's the birth of Christ. In celebrating only this...it is meaningful and does not feel empty for me. How I miss mom. I was out the other day and I looked at all of the people around me and thought I wonder what is going on in their world? Going to a friends for dinner today. Does anyone else just view the world completely different now? Have the best day you can. You are in my thoughts today. Love Sue

Lisa, same here; I'm still up.........today has been a very tough day for me; if you read my other posts, you'll get an idea. I don't even want to celebrate Christmas, if not for my daughter; I would spend the whole day in bed. Hope your day goes well. Your daughter is at the age where she understands Christmas and all the traditions, my baby is two and thank God for that, I don't know how I would cope with Christmas if she were older.

I know Melissa, and people talk about it so innocently. It makes me so sad. I'm feeling worse, knowing home is not home anymore, with my mom and dad gone and the brother who was to inherit the family home too passed away one year before my mom. I'm so sorry Melissa that you all are not feeling well. My baby had been sick for the last three weeks and it was also a distraction for me. Now I have all the time to think about my loss. I have a co-worker who's mom is in a nursing home and she falls often and gets sick. My co-worker is so fed up with her and shows no emotion when her mom is sick but the minute her pets get ill; its like the end of the world. Isn't it ironic that those who love their parents so much don't get to have them around long enough? I hope you all feel better soon and have a very merry Christmas. God Bless.

Hi everyone ~ it's 1:50 in the morning (Christmas Day) and I just can't sleep.  It took forever for my 10 year old daughter to fall asleep and since she still believes in Santa, I had to wait until she fell asleep to finish up some last minute details.  Now that she is asleep, I can't sleep.  It's been 33 days since my mom passed away and I can't believe I will be facing my first Christmas without her.  I really think I have a brick wall up in regards to my emotions, because it's like I can't cry or won't allow myself to feel.  I'm excited for my daughter, but the thought of opening presents without my mom is surreal.  I could not celebrate Christmas, but that is not what my mom would have expected out of me, but not sure what I would be celebrating if it wasn't for my daughter.  So with that said, Merry Christmas to all who celebrate this holiday, otherwise, Happy Holidays.  Hugs, Lisa

Mercy,

I don't just get upset I get down right jealous when people talk about their moms.

I'm sorry, your having a tough time, I think me and all my kids being sick is helping keep my mind off everything. I mean really I'm not even thinking about Christmas I yeah sure I'll go through the motions of things for the kids but we all feel horrible.

My mom died labor day weekend too. The last few months have been a blur. In the beginning I had lost my will to live, I still don't want to be on this earth but I know my two year old daughter needs me. She's the only reason why I'm alive today. This has been a very bad day, I went to my hair stylist house and she was all smiles, doing last minute christmas stuff like cooking and wrapping gifts talking about going to her moms place for christmas. This put me over the edge and ruined my whole day. I'm not celebrating Christmas this year, I just can't, the pain is unbearable.
