So we're all coming up to the holidays. For some of us (me included) its my first holiday without my dad and for others it their second or eight holiday without their loved one. So what i'm getting at is, i want to know how you all handled your first or how you plan to handle your first christmas. I also want all of you to know that i'm just a message if anyone would like to talk to me on christmas eve/ christmas. I'm willing to suppor you if you're willing to support me. So tell me please.
The first are always the worst for me...I made it through 24 months without a loss...12/7/13 marked the end of that...my cat - who I adopted almost 9 years ago when my brother died - took ill and died when we were travelling to visit with family...feeling like a widow.
The practice I have is celebrating the holidays on a different day...doing sometime nice for myself, having a meal with a family member I enjoy or taking a walk in a pretty place. The hurt is there but I am showing up for my life which I need to do.
so far so good I guess?
