I lost my Dad in June... sometimes the sorrow hits you when you least expect it. Even more now at Christmas. I cried while decorating my tree this weekend.

Feelings are neither right nor wrong — they just are. It’s OK to cry.

(It’s what we do with the feelings that is right or wrong.)

A lady at my church lost her son a couple of years ago and right before Thanksgiving her husband died suddenly.

Oh, how difficult this Thanksgiving was for her — and like you said, the Christmas celebrations are filled with memories of loved ones.

I can see the grief in her face.

So sorry for you loss. My dad passed away almost 2 1/2 years ago, and I still get misty at times.

Holidays are all a little different now. I can understand the whole “Blue Christmas” better, but I celebrate that I still have my mom and brothers.
