Is this your first Christmas without your partner?
I'm seeking solace at my parent's house. Roast dinner, drinks, comfort of home, before the harsh reality hits me again.

@HootyTheNightOwl I'm so sorry. 💕
@gdon39 I can't lie, we are feeling it. I was grieving a little yesterday - but I had to deliver my sister's gifts.
I managed to push back the grief with a bit of help from my man... though my sister and I still had a sad moment in the kitchen.
It still feels strange to not be getting ready to go to her house and help with the tidying up - which we would be doing about now.

@HootyTheNightOwl I know losing my woman will be the most tragic thing ever in my life. However, Losing your mom, my mom scares me and I don't know how you girls have held it together.
I am somewhat okay because I have told my mom exactly what she has meant to me. She is my mentor and leader in life. I'm just okay with having told her all the amazing things about her.
Be strong today.

@gdon39 We're strong because we have to be. She has her daughter who needs her... and I have to be strong because that's all I've ever been. I know that if I break, then everyone else will, too.
I've been through some beatings at the hands of my father and only broke once when he went to far. If I can do this, I can do just about anything...
@MrBlueGuy Thank you, it helps to know that I'm not alone in trying to find this new normal.
I have actually gotten closer to some friends in the months since my mother passed away - so it feels like I lost my mother, but gained a new family, too.
They were supposed to be coming over today, but one of their daughters found out that she has Covid19 this morning... so they had to isolate instead.
