I'm not sure what has happened in your world but this will be my first Christmas a widower. My 31-year-old incredible woman passed last year of a pulmonary embolism at 31 years.
@HootyTheNightOwl Thank you for your kind words. I have just now stopped crying at every tv commercial, , song, and rainbow I'm certain you understand. I'm sad for your loss but you and it seems all of us are pretty strong. Take care of your people.
@gdon39 It's a slow process when it comes to grief. All that we can do is take it day by day until the pain eases somewhat.
I didn't even want to decorate the house this year - but soon to be ex took over that.
I also lost all my traditions this year, too, since soon to be ex decided that we didn't have enough gifts for me to do what I did in memory of my grandfather and take a gift to bed with me to represent the gift my mother used to leave on my bed for as long as I can remember.
That was rough for me.
One thing that might help you is to start a collection of special Christmas ornaments that you can add to every year. I'm collecting Disney themed ornaments in memory of my mother. This is my first piece...
