Thank you for the post. I too am the matriarch of my side and it is a burden that I struggle with. Holidays are rough. Anyone else struggling through the season, be kind to yourselves. You are loved, but not always understood. ❤️
Celebrating in the midst of irreparable loss is a necessary art I’m trying to learn. Thank you for setting a good example. My heart is heavy today but the tree is twinkling and friends have just invited us for an impromptu dinner. We will laugh before I go home to cry.
I know that feeling…grief with joyful moments. Christmas is not the same without our spouses; the grandkids all grown. Thank you for spinning some hope here, dear Ramona. It’s all we have going forward. May you be with family and share memories of Ed and your nephew. 🫶❤️🩹 And May Santa leave some fun little presents for you! Hugs and peace! 🤗🫶🙏
Love your Christmas message! So glad you are with your family for support, cheer and most important PEACE. Wishing all peace and love in the coming new year!
It's Christmas Day here already, Ramona, so the best and freshest Christmas greetings to you and yours.
It's a day where I'll experience loss - the first time for thirteen years that my most beloved of all dogs won't be sitting at my feet as we open gifts, have breakfast, walk, have lunch, walk and then watch the King's Message and subside, replete.
But it's all about spirits being with us and we're surrounded by wonderful memories and laughter and love. May it be the same for you.
A very Merry Christmas to you. So sorry for the pain in your heart aching for your beloved, Ed, and nephew, Jason. They are probably with you as their energy lasts forever

Remembrance and celebration. And, yes, tears. Love does that doesn't it? ❤️🌲🕊
