About this deal
Neither of them can ever be your own flesh and blood but they’ll do the best that they can to give you and your DD the best time humanly possible . If you’re getting ready to face your first Christmas since bereavement then it’s going to be hard and there aren’t words in the world that can change that.
I thought I understood how much I miss you until I realized I would have to celebrate Christmas without you this year. His brother and sister went with their kids to the in laws who were upset that we couldn’t make it too.I do try and appreciate it as a close bereavement makes you realise what you have and how short life is.
She was very clearly the glue that held the family together and without her we’ve all stopped bothering. Ah I am so sorry for your loss, and for the losses of others on this thread too over the years I've lost my Nana on 27th Dec, Gran on 28th and Grandad on 18th Jan.
But while trying to untangle my Christmas tree lights recently the full weight of my loss came crashing down.
