An ex girlfriend died in a car crash on Christmas Eve 1975 at age 20. There’s nothing worse than the loss of a child, but the grief on Christmas Eve must be even more horrible.
Gosh, that’s almost 50 years ago. I still remember exactly where I was when I heard.
I was six when my grandfather died on Christmas Eve...yeah...you don’t forget.
Sorry to hear that.
A friend of mine got hit by a car on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately it took several years to die. He was vegetative. It was very hard on his family.
Some things get etched in the mind permanently,
My mother’s best friend lost her only son in Viet Nam on the June 6th, 1970; her youngest daughter’s 20th birthday (and my older brother’s birthdate, but he died on June 1st, 1966, in a farm accident, 5 days short of age 16).

My best friend was brutally murdered on New Year’s Eve.
We never celebrate it - Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are still tainted with sadness and loss 25 years now.
