Been down that road with both of my parents. You need a cup of cocoa, a couple of cookies, and a tear or two to remember. Hug you're daughters when they get there.

Praying for your peace and good will.

4 years ago right before Christmas I lost my wife of almost 44 years. Her funeral was Dec. 21. I was alone Christmas Eve so I know what you are feeling. No denying, it is hard. My kids came for Christmas Dinner. December is always hard. People say time heals and it does to a point but remember the good times. John

Bruce from Can. · Dec 24, 2018

So sorry, I really can?t come up with the words to express how my condolences, and offer words of comfort to you. Though you must stay strong for your daughters, as they will need your comforting reassurance too. I wish you the best.

JustIn Case · Dec 24, 2018

My condolences, that would be quite difficult for you and your daughters. God bless you and your family through this difficult time.

wanabefarmer · Dec 24, 2018

I thank God for this site I don't post much but enjoy reading your comments. Thanks for your prayers my sons and daughters have been my rock during this time.

Stephen Newell · Dec 24, 2018

Sorry for your loss. I know somewhat how you feel, I'm by myself this Christmas too but my wife is just out of town.

Billy Shafer · Dec 25, 2018

When my wife passed. I shut myself off from the world. Christmas was very hard to get through. Until a very good friend gave me a talking to. She said she is gone but you are still here. And have friends and family that care about you. Don't give up on life.

The ones of us that have gone through what you are going through. Understand the feelings.

Ken Christopherson · Dec 25, 2018

Thoughts are with you during this difficult time... Know that we all share similar pains, and you are not alone. Lean on family, lean on friends... Heck, lean on us greasy fellers if needed.

Lost my dad 11-20-14 at the age of 55. Massive heart attack.. Then 9-25-17 lost mom at 56. She took her own life.

I always tell people it is easy to see the negatives - because those are the things that bug you every day. The real treasure and reward comes in looking for the positives. Remember and search for the good, and it will overshadow the bad my friend.

Prayers are with you.
I know exactly what you are going through.
My wife passed 18 years ago.
Christmas is family time around my house. My two kids, boy(39) and girl(36) come over the the only house they grew up in. We have a meal, exchange gifts and best part is time with my grandkids. I can't imagine what Christmas would be like without my family.

Shoprat · Dec 25, 2018

My heart goes out to you, Wannabe. I wish something could be done or said to ease your pain.

Adirondack case guy · Dec 25, 2018
