I've just listened to a very emotional song ... about missing a loved one at Christmas time.
It does have a religious aspect and many of us on here may not believe in religion of any kind. However you may still want to have a listen online. The sentiments of the words certainly brought the tears to my eyes ♡
"The Sweetest Gift" by Craig Aven (The Piano Guys)
Hi Pooka,
I had a listen. I’m not at all religious but it still made me cry my eyes out. I have done well today, generally no tears during the day. But then got home from my stepdaughters and had more ‘with sympathy’ cards. Such nice words they set me off. Then walked the dog in tears and thought I may as well too it off with a sad song, really get me in the mood.
Sometimes I feel like I try and torture myself on purpose...

Sometimes it's good to let the tears out.. it doesn't change the outcome but it is a release, albeit a brief one.
