Christmas weep

Missing my son. Have a good Xmas all of you especially if your on your own and if you have lost a member of your family.

Tears for those no longer with me but grateful that they once were.

And, so glad we can share this Gransnetting......lucky us.

So to whoever makes it happen THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Keeping the tears at bay because I may drown if I let go! A lovely member of my family is suffering and just now it's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel, but I tell myself that where there's life there's hope and I press on with a smile on my face.
In the wee sma' hours though.......

(((hugs))) all round!

Sending lots of love to all who are having a bad time at this time of year.

And to those on their own.

Just remember that GN is never closed. Help and support is always available.

Try to do something nice for yourself and remember to think to the future and make this time next year different in a good way. X

Me too, ive written before about my overseas adult sons so not boring you again, but this year am sad because my lovely dad died a few weeks ago
Im 60 but will be sad not to be calling him tomorrow at11am to hear him say "has he been yet " ( he means father christmas by the way)
Lucky to have lovely stepchildren round the corner with gorgeous children of their own to cheer me up though
Best wishes to everyone who is sad and alone tomorrowx

Thank you Greenfinch. I know we will have phone calls tomorrow and a FaceTime or Viber chat to Australia, just feeling a bit sorry for myself. Would be lovely to give her a hug. I do see the others fairly regularly but miss the family Christmas times we used to have. Had this cough/cold virus too, first year I've had the flu and pneumonia jabs, other years I've been fine!

You have every reason to be sad Suzan05.You need someone to put you first.I hope things will improve for you in 2017.

Feeling sad too. Youngest daughter and partner live in Australia. Not seeing my two sons and other daughter, they all have other places to be. I have two grandchildren too.
Husband not speaking as I discovered a while ago that he's been in touch since September with ex girlfriend from when young. Seen messages they've written including a song he's written and recorded for her called "our song". Won't stop contact even though I've asked him to and insists he's done nothing wrong. His parents have rung and blamed me as I go to look after my grandson once a month. I'm supposed to put my husband first and "show him some consideration". No idea what to do, not a very happy time this year.

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.

Wishing you all who are sad a peaceful day tomorrow.

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

(((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.

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 ?

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?

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))))

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

Hugs to all who need them

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.

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

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

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

sunseeker and mumsy hugs and have a peaceful Christmas x

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.

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 ?
