"Missing You at Christmas Mum" Glass Memorial Robin Heart Plaque with Tealight Holder

Product Information

As you said I really just wanted to hide away and it’s such a strain being around other extended family.

My mum did meet my son and for that I am so grateful but they only had 4 months in each others lives. I lost my 22 year old son last May and the first Christmas without him didn’t even feel like Christmas for me and my 13 year old daughter but this year feels a bit better for us even though we miss him desperately we focus on our memories now and every time we just end up howling with laughter remembering how much joy he brought to our lives every day when he was here. She’s said she’s fine to host (nobody else has a house big enough), provided everything is done by others, which is fine. It’s going to be really tough for our 13 DS and 10 year old DD who are determined to celebrate in the way he would have as he loved Christmas.His passion from childhood, however, was flying: he got his pilot’s licence at Biggin Hill when he was 20, and flew small planes and gliders for years.

I guess day to day I have been coping a bit better in the last few months, keeping busy with the kids. We may not celebrate Christmas together anymore, but I know you'll always be there in my heart this time of year. Christmas is the hardest time of year because it was the very last holiday we got to spend together as a family.

From things like DDs first day at school, to her first nativity and big things like me getting married. Second Christmas without my mum and everyone tells you "the first is the worst" - yeah it was pretty awful but what I hate so so much now is that everyone's forgotten and don't seem to think you should be upset second time round!

I had Dd2 4yrs ago and my mum loved visits from her, but didn't have any idea she was her granddaughter. Ah I am so sorry for your loss, and for the losses of others on this thread too over the years I've lost my Nana on 27th Dec, Gran on 28th and Grandad on 18th Jan. My mum passed away nearly three years ago (age and not cancer) and I really missed her, but you must really take care of yourself and those little ones. My mum said to me as she was dying that she'd always be with me and I believe that, as we were so close.

Dont feel like you should be doing anything , you have suffered the worst thing ever losing your mum. I feel able to properly love Christmas again now that time has passed, and go all out to make Christmas as special for my children as she did for me.You might try incorporating a few unique grief activities into the season to honor them and help you cope as you go through the season.

She was killed in a car accident aged 69 three months before Christmas 2016, so yes, here one minute and then gone. Although this is my first Christmas without her I feel only my Dad and Sister are sensitive to that. No wonder you miss your mum she sounds great and it is sad she will miss out on seeing your dd grow up. She loved Christmas and the first year was hard because it felt so different, her presence so notably missing, and I struggled trying to replicate her version of Christmas for my Dad and siblings, which of course I couldn't really do.

Every year we meet Brian’s extended family for brunch on Christmas Eve – it’s a big family gathering. I went to my daughters graduation in November my Mum would have been so proud as she had every graduation photo of all her grandchildren, I like to think she would have been looking on. I lay looking at the skylight each night, crying to music and begging the stars to send her back to me. It really helped to know that there were others who understand and that I’m not going completely mad for feeling like this. I hope that you can take some comfort from the fact that I know a little bit about what you’re going through and I can tell you that it does get better – however unimaginable that is today.
