Read this thread every year and said a prayer for those alone never thinking it may be me.
Lost my hubby in October and had his funeral on the day I met him 50 years ago, same day of the week same date - what irony!
My best to all those in this thread, may 2026 be a MUCH BETTER YEAR
Love to all & God Bless!
Prayers for you, God bless you too :)
May God bless you this Christmas, conservativesister.
Prayers up for you to heal from your sadness and loss.
Lost my dear wife 3.5 years ago and amazed I’m still struggling. Big love takes more time, I believe. The Swami who gave the opening talk at Woodstock (I wasn’t there) said you can achieve happiness if you are not attached. Attachment to an outcome like I must get the big job or I must win this person from my rival.
But no attachment means you drift through life without highs or lows.
I would never trade the highs of true mutual love for avoiding the loss I have felt now.
Prayers up for you.
