I have been where you are, and close to Christmas. Lost my mom/best friend many years ago. My kids were 6 and 12. I actually had to dress them for Halloween and take them trick-or-treating two days after her burial. I cooked her Thanksgiving dinner, and put up her Christmas tree. I celebrated for her, and cried myself to sleep every night. Everyone grieves and handles loss differently. It’s been 26 years and I miss her every single day. Hang on tight to your kids and let them help pull you through. Their love and innocence is something you can rely on. Be strong in faith, lean on our Savior and know that your dad is safe, out of pain and wants you to be happy. Get out some paper and pen, write a letter to him every day, and a letter to yourself also. Seal them, date them and put them in a box, add all your blessings, fears, accomplishments, and smiles in each one. Open them in a year and see how far you have come. I’m truly sorry for your grief, and only you can feel it. I’ll be praying for you. ❤️
It's so hard when you loose a loved one, but you have to carry on with everyday life. I lost my husband last year and although still hard, you learn to accept that they are no longer here. Sending lots of love and healing to you ❤
I'm sorry for your loss honey. 😢 My father passed on my Birthday. It's been 15 years and I still miss him. The holidays are very hard. In time you will heal. God Bless 🙏🙏📿
Prayers continue for you. Lean on your children and hug them tight, they need you. Try to go for a walk and get some fresh air. ❤ your dad would want you to keep going.
Hugs sweetheart. It's incredibly hard to soak in all the feelings, even the numbness. Losing a parent changes us. I do understand the new year feeling. You will feel so kinds of different things. I knew it would be hard to lose my Mom but I truly knew just how hard. It's been three years. I finally feel a little more human but I am different. Some days you take it a minute of a rime. Everyone has different reactions. No one should tell you how to get through or that there's a time limit on mourning. There isn't one. It is good to say how you feel. It's ok to hurt and it's ok to be sad and even angry. Try to take care of yourself. Love on your babies. I'm praying for you.
Thank you, Louise, for checking in with us. Keep talking about your grief, whatever you feel. Time will help. Remember all the wonderful times and experiences. He will always be in your heart.❤🙏❤
