"its so hard xmas coz our loved 1s no longer with us so sorry on your loss "
Hitting me
My daughter did MAID last Tuesday and I've been holding up okay.But just now the Christmas convoy (trucks all lit up that do an organized drive through our small town) went by and suddenly I just started crying, thinking how my girl won't be around to have these small moments. And not that she would have - she wasn't a huge Christmas or celebration person. So I don't know why I'm sitting here crying about it.Oh this is going to hurt a lot :-(See More

Thanks for the hug, I needed that! So sorry about your Mom. Its so, so hard to lose a mother. Lost mine six years ago. I also like to do art and write, and I have kind of used those interests to help me express my sorrow. ( I'm involved in something called " art journaling" , which really helps me to cope with the pain of loss. You can look it up on the internet, if interested.) Somehow, taking all this grief and putting it into my art and my writing helps me to cope. Anyway, sending my love and a big hug to you! Looking forward to when this promise comes true: Isaiah 25:3--"God will swallow up death FOREVER, and the Sovereign LORD will wipe the tears from all faces..."
