I'm not really feeling it tbh.

It's probably because it's the first Christmas without my Mom being around.

It all just feels hollow to me.

I'm sorry to hear about that Sheriff.

Does it start feeling more normal having Christmas go by without your Mother being around, if you don't mind me asking?

Every one is different
You are younger than me so that means your mum was younger than my mum and you must feel cheated that she has gone so soon

Put it this way Christmas will never hold any thing for me

My dad is struggling on each day so that’s another head fcuk waiting to happen

You are a good man mock

My Mom was definitely younger than the average person you would be expecting to pass away (as morbid as that sounds) but it's true that she was reasonably young when she passed away.

And tbh you're right, I still keep having the day play out over and over in my head, and even some of the days prior to that, it's definitely something that I feel like I should've paid more attention to, but only started to once it was too late for her.

And my Dad is the same, he tries his best for me and my Brother to put on a more relaxed persona, but I can tell that he isn't the same as he used to be.

And thanks Sheriff, I know that I am probably giving out too much personal information on this thread, but I truly appreciate that you've heard me out.

I hope that you and your Dad can find something to cheer about this Christmas, I know that I'm going to try on my end, but I don't think that It'll be a successful attempt.

It’s never a bad thing to share the good and the bad days
Because you will see who share your values

Last night my eyes filled with tears thinking about my mum but I had to push it to the back of my mind to stay strong

We are all different but all the same

It can be difficult to fight back the tears can't it?

…yeah, I understand and relate to that also, we lost my dad quite some years ago and it was never the same again…not for us and absolutely not for my mom who has now also passed…when we lost dad, it felt impossible to get through that sadness of thinking of him in death but whenever I think of him now, I think of him in life and I think of the laughter and the great times and the person he was…and that does bring joy…like a sweet to the bitter…your dad has you and your brother and that will help so much to give him that ‘cheer’ that you hope for him….what I’m trying to say is no, it won’t be the same but hopefully there’ll be many moments of smiles for you all as well in the person she was ….…

Thanks Ammi.

We are all trying to be there for each other, it's just I can tell that we're all still feeling it in different ways.

And I definitely like to think back to some of her funniest moments.

Oh Mock, there is no sugar coating it, this Christmas will be tough for you and your family, but you will get through it and there will be many first times until her anniversary and then you will start to heal gradually, but there will be moments something will remind you of her and it will catch you out and you just have to let the tears fall wherever you, sending you hugs Mock xxx

Thanks Cherie.

My Birthday was probably the worst for me, I didn't enjoy that at all.
