Over the holidays

[PsychicLiss]

Holidays are the toughest I think for grief, A great love of mine died in 1991, and I think as sad as it seems I am the only one left who visits his grave He doesnt seem to mind, he talks with me often, his family has never been the same. I have a few friends I am helping through this holiday with channeling. If anyone wants to chat as friends, If I can help in anyway, let me know. Any good karma given freely to those in need brings good karma in abundance...

I understand that. Our daughter died 8 years ago and now it's just me and my husband. Our son lives on the otherside of the state, as well as my husband's family. My family lives fairly close but they don't care about us. We rarely hear from them and they have never visited us since my daughter's death.

Yuletide and Christmas with just the two of us and our memories are sometimes hard. I am an intuitive empath and able to communicate with my daughter and other loved ones. But it's just not the same.

We were watching a TV show last night and one of the characters made a comment about a daughter he lost... "If I had one Christmas wish, it would be to hug my daughter again."

Boy, can we relate to that.

Me, too. Sad to see so many of us struggling with loss right now. I cannot imagine being without my daughter. And I can't imagine stopping visiting someone I loved just because they died, either, PsychicLiss.

My sister's death was so peaceful, I feel she's safe now. for all the people we've lost. I think there will lots of others among us feeling it over the holidays, too.

My grandmother died 22 years ago on Dec. 23. My own dad never got over the grief... now this year, he is dying. This will be his last Christmas, and I am afraid it's made worse by the fact that he still misses his mother. I am practically in a panic, I feel like I'd do anything right now to stop the clock, just so I can keep him around a little longer. Everyone else just seems to be taking it in stride, though I am sure they are hurting and not showing it. It's scary... like watching a slow-motion avalanche and knowing you can't stop it from knocking you down.
