I've been ok. It's been a good week. I can't believe Christmas is Friday.
2.what does Christmas mean to you
Christmas is just another day for me. It used to be about family gatherings, it was a great time. A lot of the family have passed and we no longer have family get togethers so all that remains are memories.

To me the songs were about having gratitude and makiing the most of what we have.

1. how are you feeling this week?
Like I am going through the Motions and making the best of a horrible situation. My Mother in Law died on the 22nd of December and it was a very turbulent relationship for both me and my husband. We are guilty, in shock and we havent been sleeping much. There is no closure, since because of Covid they would only let my Husband see her. We have to quarantine annd be tested for Covid since the Hospital where the ambulance took her is overrun with the virus.
2.what does Christmas mean to you
We are making Dinner and trying our best but it doesnt feel like Christmas at all. There was a time when I loved Christmas, I dont anymore.
3 what came across from the songs ?
I cant Listen to them right now.
@Breezy2013
Give yourselves the most important gifts of all, time,patience and understanding . Loss is difficult anytime of year but holidays can feel even more overwhelming with all the additional challenges and expectations. It is good that you have each other even if its hard to see right now. Trust that your loved one knew your thoughts and prayers were with them even if you couldnt be there in person. When you really care, people know. They just do.
Seek support if you need to, using 7 cups forums is a good start. Focus on the things that give you comfort no matter how small. Take time to rest your thoughts as well as your body, this is how healing begins.
@Breezy2013
