I'm so sorry for your loss. Maybe the best way for you to celebrate christmas would be to carry on your Dad's old traditions, if he had any. I 'm sure he'd want you to just be happy. Just say a prayer and be thankful for all the Christmas's and so forth that you had together. Spend some time alone with him, so to speak. Just go into your quiet place and talk to him if it makes you feel better. You don't have to do anything you don't want to though. Best wishes to you and God bless.

I know it's hard. I lost my mom a couple of years back and we all miss her. I look at it as her not so much being gone as her not suffering anymore. She died of cancer, this May making 3 years and her last hours akive were non too pleasant, so she was better off. I don't know if this helps, but I hope it did. We all have to face death at some point in our lives and the only thing I can tell you is to bite the bullet and keep on going. There is nothing we can do to bring our loved ones back.

My family individuals and that i activate Christmas music, bake cookies on an analogous time as we beautify the tree, study the Christmas tale interior the Bible, then pass utilising around staring on the Christmas lights. Busy night, yet stunning for the family individuals.

I'm sorry for your loss. I agree with those who suggest doing some volunteer work at Christmas, maybe at a hospital or soup kitchen. You will feel better about the holidays knowing you've made someone going through a rough time as well happier.

I know what you mean. Last year, I lost my grandfather this time last year. Then two days after Thanksgiving this year, I lost an uncle and my foster sister to a drunk driver. But I'm hanging in there...you and yours are in my thoughts. Take care and Merry Christmas wishes are being sent your way!!

Visit a children's hospital and be a giving person to them. It doesn't take a lot of money to bring joy into a child's life. If you are a true giver, it will bring you joy too. Do this in remembrance of your father, and make it a tradition of yours to give in a special way each year. Sounds to me like you are a very caring person. Share your love in some way.

give presnts to a family less fortunate than you and give money to the poor and when you're done with that, open the presnts of other people
