The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Missing Someone at Christmas?
I lost my Dad in August, so this is really the first major holiday (I was never big on Thanksgiving) with him gone, and it's hard preventing myself from tearing up, let alone having any kind of Christmas cheer. I would rather not celebrate the holiday, at least for this year, and have to pretend that I am filled with the holiday spirit. Anyone else feel/felt this way?

September 2008 I lost my best friend to drugs. It's horrible thinking about it and not having her around for the Holidays. We used to have holiday parties all the time and I basically lived with her so it's so much different now. That's not the same thing as losing a father but she was like my sister. I definitely feel for you this holiday season. I'm sure he would want you to be happy and cheerful though. Just know that he is at peace and in a better place.

I also lost my father this year and I am having the same problem. I am not in the Christmas spirit at all, and I hate having to fake it for my family and friends. I will be glad when the whole season is over.

Oh man, my last blog post was about how I wanted Santa to send some Christmas spirit. This is my first Christmas since my grandpa's suicide and well, it sort of sucks!!! I'm with you on wiping the holiday right off the map....Christmas music is a no-go, holiday shopping not so fun (I cried in Macy's, embarrassing much?), and the list goes on. I'm just feeling sort of icky.
Know that you aren't alone girl!
Sending peace, love, and hugs your way.

I know it is not the same thing as losing a real family member, but both of my pet ferrets died this year. One was five and the other six years old. This is the first Christmas in a long time that we don't have to put the presents up off of the floor, so they don't get opened before Christmas morning. I miss both of them.

Mrs. B I have two friend who cherish their dogs like newborn children...they would seriously grieve if they died. Grief is a universal concept just experienced in different ways.
P.S. I lost my dog Mitsy two years ago and still haven't had the heart to get another dog. Pets are extended family, I get it.
