I do hope you manage to find someone on here to share Christmas with Heartwrenched. It is a lovely idea. If not why not speak to your local Help the Aged or church to find a lonely person to share Christmas lunch with?

This is heartbreaking, Heartwrenched. I so wish you could just pop on over here for Christmas in the South Pacific - we'd love to have you! I do hope that something will work out for you. And there's always next Christmas (2022), when hopefully this hideous virus will have been sent packing.

Dear Heartwrenched , I will be alone for Christmas due to Estrangement myself but l live in the south east . It’s very hard being alone at Christmas . Love to meet for coffee but a bit far . Keep smiling . Hilliy

Heartwrenched I hope some takes you up on your thoughtful offer. I am estranged from my son and my daughter doesn't like me to have Christmas day on my own. So I will be with them at their house or here.
I was widowed in 2004.

I hope someone will share this Christmas with you Heartwrenched.

I'm not alone as I have Mr. S. but we spend Christmas just the two of, estranged from our youngest son and only GC with our other son in Aus. it's always a difficult time of the year.

I'm not an estranged parent, I'm an estranged child but this is a lovely idea and I hope you find someone to share the holiday with

I’m not in Yorkshire, and I won’t be alone, but I think this is a really lovely idea, I hope it works out for you Heartwrenched.

I am sorry you are having such a difficult time ?

Is there anyone out there who will be alone because of estrangement this coming Christmas 2021? I will be alone too
I'm a divorced lady on my own and have 4 grandchildren I'm not allowed to see and I don't really know why but, if you're looking for a friend to spend Christmas with whose in the same
estrangement boat as you, please don't be alone. Let's try and have a little Christmas with a little happiness if we can. I'm 58 and non smoker and have a car. I have room to accommodate so you're not alone. Let's meet for coffee first??? Keep smiling granny's and grandads x
