I hope you feel comfortable talking to others and sharing your feelings when the time comes.<br />Sharing our pain with those who understand makes the journey a little easier.

Now, with my family scattered across the country, it's usually just me, my husband, and my father who share a meal together on Christmas Day. This year, I decided that it's ridiculous to cook a big meal for just the three of us so we're going out. We did that on Thanksgiving, and that was great. Please visit my blog at http://abbiescorneroftheworld.blogspot.com to read a poem about how a familiar Christmas carol causes a lump to form in my throat, as I mourn my mother's passing.Abbie Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251937445976896173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160021015821033799.post-8573877547449696732011-12-22T04:20:38.266-05:002011-12-22T04:20:38.266-05:00Very powerful words, Glenda.

But your beautifully written and thoughtful post makes me think of my own losses and how I coped. One day at a time, and sometimes even one minute at a time. You do eventually get back to some semblance of normal, but you are never the same. Thanks for sharing this with me. I appreciate it.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
