Is Anyone Else Spending Christmas Eve Alone?

My mom killed herself in 1967, right after I graduated from high school. I am pleased to hear that you had your mother for so long. I sure would have liked mine to have met her grandchildren.

If you were near Atlanta we’d have you over.

With no family today... Sister died in 2018, Mom in 2019, Dad in 2020, best friend Mary in 2021.. Sometimes Wonder who\what 2022 will bring... I’m just tired..

Merry Christmas..

Sometimes I listen to songs by Petula Clark when I’m feeling glum.

Not the whole clan, just the peaceful splinter. ;-D

My father killed himself in 1988. He only got to meet 3 of my kids.

The sorrow never goes away, but the pain subsides some. Suicides leave a scar on the family that lasts the rest of their lives. It also leaves them all second-guessing, "Did I cause it? Could I have somehow stopped it?"

I have a loving bond with you now as we are both hiking under the same shadow.

Donna, I am sorry.

I shared some not so happy things about myself. I’m glad that you did too. I feel better. I hope you do too.
