Christmas weep

Yes sue

Yes, very.

I watched some stupid advert last night on tv I think it was Tesco about a Grandma whose family suddenly appeared behind a Tesco lorry from Australia it made me bawl and I know 'IT WAS ONLY AN ADVERT NOT REAL LIFE'just made me think of my sons little family so far away who we will only see on Facetime.

OH was looking at me as if I were mad..

Oh glad its not just me!! ?✨xx

I am missing my pregnant daughter. Even though the rest of the family is here or will be, and I feel a bit selfish for it, I, like you OP, am missing people.
For me, I think part of it is because she is pregnant and about to give birth too.

I will be spending Christmas alone and I am missing my late DH and my family who all live in Australia. I know I will have a little cry tomorrow morning but then will remember all good times we had at Christmas in the past. I think it is perfectly normal to miss those we can't be with at this time of year for all those who will be alone tomorrow

(((((((Great big hugs))))))

I try to think of Christmas Day as a normal day and I can do what I like when I like so that I do not sit and think about happier times.

Reading some of the threads on GN brings me close to tears at times.

Oh such an emotional time when all the feelings get muddled, the last 5 years Ive spent on my own and its just been another day for me and Ive coped ok
( estrangement from family their choice not mine) this year I offered an olive branch I sent xmas cards and got none back, on top of that Ive been very ill with a virus this past week and still not recovered so Im feeling very sorry for myself sitting here remembering christmas pasts ?

The past is another country. We must learn to live and try to adjust to the one we live in now, here in the present. Not easy but it is what we have.

sunseeker and mumsy hugs and have a peaceful Christmas x

Yes, from me too sunseeker charleygirl and mumsy annsixty ?
Just think of all the lovely Christmas Days though, in the past.

Tearful just reading this. Hugs to all who need one and ???

I have just filled up watching Stella I'm always weepy especially Christmas oh used to it . ? What we like ?

Just very sad for Zara and Mike Tindall who have lost the baby they were expecting in the Spring. Sad at any time of the year but especially at this time.

Hugs to all who need them

Think we all need a hug at this moment!! ✨Happy Christmas everyone✨?✨

I have just put something about this on a similar thread keep your pecker up.

Come and join a group hug if you need it. ((((you))))

I lay in bed this morning and listened to Luther Vandross singing ' Dance with my Father' and ended up sobbing my heart out ..... so no your not alone at all ?

My love to everyone on here it's not always about being alone sometimes you can be very lonely in the middle of a crowd

Love and care xx?

My counter part Gran slowly fading away in hospital. My youngest grandson who has many allergies filched some chocolates this morning which had nuts and coconut in them, so I have been in charge of the sick bucket all day which has been in regular use, fortunately he is now improving and chuffing down dry Rice Krispies.

On the up side as we speak DH and myself are in reasonably good health and just happy to help my DS and family this Christmas when they really need us.

((Hugs)) to all those who are sad this holiday season. Isn't it great though that we can share our thoughts good and bad here on GN ?

(((Hugs))) from me too. I ought to be sad but I am just counting myself so lucky to have had the people I've had in my life and to have been so loved by them. Yes, I miss them beyond words, but, strangely enough, I'm not feeling sad.

For all who are feeling sad and lonely and warm thoughts.

Sad yes. First Christmas ever without Ds and then his family. They are on the other side of the country.

Wishing you all who are sad a peaceful day tomorrow.

Hugs for everyone. No family left. Lucky to be with my friend tomorrow. Feel sad as new neighbours have children strange we exchanged cards when they moved in last year but not this year my other neighbour is in Inverness with her daughter.
