Hi Mduck
Sorry to hear about what you are going through - Christmas is often touted as the season for family but for those who have lost a loved one or who are single it can be very lonely indeed as the world carries on and we can feel left behind.
If you feel it might help you could try to contact cruse bereavement care and/or the loss foundation who provide specialist support in this area. I have also heard some good things about way-up
<<hugs>>

Thank you i will look those up feeling pretty low at moment
I miss my man so much lost him January this year he could have died Christmas but fought on till 10th January. Im 68 not remotely looking forward to Christmas just reliving last year over and over. I feel so dead inside and lonely i seem to have got worse over last few weeks. Im on my own this Christmas and really wish i could just hibernate till its over .i dont even think im going put tree up.i know life goes on but how im not normally a negative person but cant look forward i really dont want to feel like this i dont know if there anyone who feels same as me x
