I too lost a loved one at Christmas time awhile back. I swore if one more person told me time would help easethe pain I'd scream, but they were right. I try to keep very busy on the anniversary of my son's death. I have also had times when I felt like crying and did - went off by myself and had a good, long, hard cry. I felt 100% better afterwards. A cyber hug to you and your family.

Again, I'm sorry. Sending some P&PD to help you and your family get through the holidays.
{{{Hugs}}} Faith.
I was wondering how you were doing. It's so nice to hear from you. I'm glad to hear that the kids are doing well. Stop by again soon. Your posts always made me smile. Happy Thanksgiving.
