I have been dreading christmas but with the help and support from a very good friend and kids bugging me i have been getting on with it ,shoppings all done ,wrappings nearly all done , tree ordered ,decs bought i couldnt face using the old ones too many memories , all was going ok till today ,when i sat down to write christmas cards ive had to stop for a break as is just so painful and i cant stop crying and i havent felt so sad for a long time , i know this is prob *normal * and its not just not putting julians name in the cards i want to thank people for their love and support but it hurts so much , i keep thinking back to how special christmas was last year but was also very very sad for us all ,

We are all coping really well and are happy again and life does go on , but somedays it suprises me how painful this still is , and how much i so need a hug from the one person that cant give it to me ,

sorry if ive upset anyone with this blog but even i have down days sometimes , love and hugs xxx

I read your post & it so struck a chord. 1st December tomorrow & I've been thinking I must get the Xmas cards out & make a start - a lot of mine go overseas - but I'm dreading it too. I'm sure we'll make mistakes when signing them. & so many memories will be stirred up with each one.

Don't ever feel you're wrong to voice your feelings, it's what this place is so valuable for. Just know that people here understand & send you love & support. Wishing you the happiest possible Xmas.

Helo Jenni,

Just wanted to say that I am thinking of you too. I an only echo what everyone else has said: - that you are strong, but it's okay to have "down days" and NO need to apologise here at all, that you are brave, kind, loving, a great mother and good friend to many people. Of course this Christmas will be difficult, but you will have good moments too. Memories will come flooding through, but, although I'm sure most are happy memories, they'll still make you feel sad too. This year you and the children will be making new memories as well and these in turn will help you in the future. Take care. Love and hugs, Rose x x x x
