Winter's so decorative and colorful.

The frost designs on the house windows.

Branches of trees and bushes coated in white.

Icicles dripping water from the sun's warmth.

Christmas lights in various colors almost appear psychedelic at night.

You get so cold your skin changes colors.

And your dogs color your snow covered lawn in yellow.

I've had so many childhood memories of Christmas.  For some reason they just keep swirling out of my memory and into my days.

And thank you for the nice complements.  

Putting things into messages like this has helped me so much, and it's great having friends like you to share those messages with!

We'll all look back some day and see how far we have all come, and keep going...and find happiness...somehow and someday!

Wishing you peace.  

Your Good Grieving friend,

Michael

Michael,

I love your outlook on life your little things you share always make me smile, thanks for sharing. It's funny I've never really been that into Christmas, I always have thought people go overboard and losing sight of the true meaning. But this year all my neighbors have decorations up. It truly is beautiful I love all the lights! I'm glad some people feel like celebrating. My kids are definitely excited, I hope you have the best holiday you can

Melissa

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
