Lovely poem. Too often those of us who have lost someone put on a front to "join in the fun". Since being widowed I have spent all but 2 Christmas Days alone - that way I can have a little cry before remembering all the lovely fun times I had with DH.

Oh that is lovely.
The picture, too.
I am going to put it on my WhatsApp profile in memory of phoenix and those I miss. 
This was posted on Facebook in Rachel. (Phoenix ) ‘s memory this morning by her friend Hollie.
I thought those who knew. Phoenix and miss her but also all who are missing a loved one might like to share it
If Christmas is hard ,
If you’ve lost someone dear.
Just look in your heart,
And you’ll know they’re still here.
The star in the sky,
The light falling snow.
The robin outside,
It seems like they know.
If this is a time,
When you’re struggling through.
Just do what you can,
For what matters, is you.
There’s no need to be merry,
There’s no need to be bright.
Just do what you can,
It will all be all right
