When life is hard, holidays seem to make it worse.

Yes, Dad 3 days before Christmas last year. It will be a different holiday this year, that's for sure.

My mom died in "1994" from breast cancer,which is 12 yrs ago,And I still have a hard time through the holidays. It seems like life has changed and the holidays are not the same without her. But I know how much she loved all of us being together so we just keep her memory alive and the tradition going. And I think there is nothing wrong with expressing how you feel or even talking about that special one when you feel like your missing them. We reminisce about all the memories,that's what keeps her alive in our heart. And I hope you find comfort and peace this holiday.,,,,,,,,,:)

It's been quite sometime now, but my mother passed away on January 5th. She had been through a year long battle with cancer and had been especially sick that last Christmas and New Years. Whenever the holidays roll around I am reminded of that time frame and what she went through. It does make it hard even though I was very young at the time and it has been many years since her passing.

My mom moved out on Christmas day six years ago. While we are still close, the holidays are very hard on all of us. Whenever there is a disruption in the family circle, the holidays become hard. I feel your pain - trust me! I used to LOVE the holidays, now I dread them. I've heard the best thing to do is to create new traditions and stick with them, though I've been hard pressed to do so thus far. Stay as cheerful as you can - you will get through it. I always try to think about all the wonderful things I have, instead of everything I don't have - (for example, your family member that was recently lost). Be grateful for the time you had with them and try to remember the good times. Maybe that will get you through...

My birthday is never the same and worst of all christmas is never the same, it just feels as though something is missing. Not a day goes by when i dont think about my mom whether it be happy or sad memoris

I'm so sorry for you loss.... My mom died when I was 16...i'm a bit older now. It is ESPECIALLY hard around the holidays, personal moments and events in your life. You'll cry, you'll miss your loved one and then you'll get mad...mad because you can't understand why someone you loved was taken out of your life. You will never be able to change the circumstances, you will never stop missing them, but know this...there spirit lives on within YOU. Honor their memory, never forget them and talk about them whenever you can.

It's very hard holiday. Try to realize that other people who surround you still love and care to you.
If you're my son, I would try to get free days in those holidays and spent a lot of time with you, even though those would not cure all your misery.
Take care and be happy, Son.
