This is the first year without parents. I went to my sisters on Thanksgiving. We did ok. What really hit me was going to a craft store by myself, my mom loved that store and I always took her there. I have been sad and weepy since Sunday when I went. We put up decorations but all I feel is sadness and guilt over my parents not being here. They lived with me and dad died 2/05 and mom 07/07. My mom was not perfect and she was an alcoholic until about 20 years ago she went to AA. My childhood was not so great but I loved her because she was my mother. The last couple of years we got along well. I am sitting here and wanting to cry even as I write this.

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
My mom wasn't an alcoholic, but she had life long emotional problems that caused me a life of guilt and low self-esteem. Still, as you said, I loved her b/c she was my mom. We got as close as she would allow that last 14 months when she was so sick.
No dads left, no moms, no grandparents. The hole is huge as we are a very small family to begin with. Like you, I got through Thanksgiving, but I make no guarantees about Christmas, and I know that I won't be the only one in my family feeling this way.
