I'm 70, with no living relatives. No parents, no siblings, no spouse, no children. All of them have passed away. When I reflect on life ~ with no one to share the thoughts with and exchange memories ~ the melancholy just makes it worse. Everyone thinks I'm fine because I don't complain. I'm not. Christmas and the holidays are particularly hard, so thank you, Lumino Lab, for putting this adorable, sweet little film together to remind others that we still exist. Blessings to any and every one who is in this same situation.
I am 66 and have the last 4 years have experienced the same exact situation as yourself…wish I could pass on some inspiring or words of wisdom to you..but I cannot…I even lost all my friends…i do truly pray and hope you have a blessed Christmas and New Year…
I’m 66, I have 2 sons and 4 grandchildren, but all of them are over the ocean, and nobody knows whether I will be able to hug and kiss them before I die. But my two cocker spaniels are with me, and they make my life
How sweet. This is my 2nd Christmas without my husband of 50 years. My children are wonderful but between the three of them we are thousands of miles apart. No one could possibly fill the emptiness within me anyway. Will I ever stop missing him? I think not.
Thanks for watching. I hope you find moments of comfort in the memories you hold dear and in the love your children have for you, even from afar. Sending you strength and warmth this holiday season. ❤️
@justmejustme1245- thinking of you. Hoping you hold on to your happy memories and allow yourself to feel some joy. You deserve it. Wishing you peace comfort and healing. Your friend
We never get over the loss of a loved one. Still we must keep on living for the living and keep the lost loved ones alive in our memories until we join them in the hereafter. 😢
When you’re sitting in a restaurant if you notice an older person eating alone, speak to them, maybe even invite them to share your table. You never know, you may be the only person they speak to today. ❤❤❤
Im 70 and lucky to have my son and family ❤ but please if you know someone alone, a little note, or call or a visit means the world .. even if this makes one person do something.. thats amazing .. may you all have a peaceful time ❤❤
Thank you for your thoughtful words and reminder. Small gestures truly can make a big difference for someone who feels alone. Wishing you and your family a peaceful and joyful time as well. ❤❤
My beautiful husband of 45 years is still with me and yet i still started crying straight away. To love and be loved by another human being is the second most wonderful gift God has given us.. The first is God's love for us , never ending, through giving us Jesus His Son to be our friend and Saviour.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful sentiment. Your love for your husband and your faith shine through your words. It’s truly a blessing to love and be loved, and your reminder of God’s unconditional love is so comforting. Wishing you and your husband a Christmas filled with peace, joy, and His blessings. ❤️
Beautiful story. Reminds me of my parents too. My mom passed in 2016 after 54 years of marriage. My dad is doing well but still misses her. Keeps her memory alive by doing things they use to do together. He lives alone with her in his heart. So thankful that i still have him and get to spend precious time with him
What a wonderful Story ilustrated with incredible wonderful Animations. I am 51 and have already lost my Parents and a Sister and my Brother. Thank you very much and to all who read this a wonderful, peaceful and cosy Christmas with all your loved ones 🎄🎁🎍🎉❤😊
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas too! I’ve lost both of my parents too but I’m blessed to have my husband with me and both of my kids coming home for the holidays.
This film is special. Very special. My wife and I are in our seventies and have been together for 53 years. She is my best friend. Although we are healthy I dread the moment one of us passes. Watching this film just makes me think about our life together, in the past and hopefully in the future - Thank you. Greg
I'm so sorry for your loss. 55 years is such a beautiful testament to the love you shared, and it's no wonder you miss him deeply. I hope you find comfort in your cherished memories together. Wishing you peace and strength this Christmas. ❤
This year is the 21st without my father, the 6th without my sister and the 1st without my mother. I am alone. Christmas will never be the same again.😢😢😢
What a deep sadness you must feel😢 May the Christ Child fill your heart this Christmas and give you great joy and peace!! Prayers for a Merry Christmas for you!❤️
You are not alone. I know how you feel. I lost my mother over 30 years ago and the open wound has closed, I still have the scar tissue on my heart. You never forget your loved one but they would not want you to go on being sad the rest of your life. Keep them close in thought and prayer because they are there and you will see them again. May Jesus keep your heart open because his promise of eternal life is true.✝️🙏🏼
I have to say that it isn't just older people who go through this loneliness and solitude. Sure they mix with people at work but they are just colleagues who so often don't won't to connect outside of work so these people go home to an empty home. So many relationships break down or never really begin in the first place. I am so glad that as an introvert I can cope a bit better with being alone, it takes a lot of learning and growth for me to be happy alone rather than lonely. People just aren't interested in connecting with me. The only one who cares for me is my elderly mother. But one day when she passes away I won't have any connection to another human being. Its a scary thought sometimes.
I have heard some similar comments on the difficulties of connecting with people from my son, who is 28. Thank you for having the courage to share your heart with others. I believe many people struggle with connecting to varying degrees. Authentic relationships are hard to come by, but not impossible. I will pray for you and others in the same situation. May God bless you and your mom as you cherish each visit together. 🙏🏼
@@southernbelle6838 agree. There are some I know who have large networks and they're nothing special. It's only because they've made huge repeated efforts to put themselves out there and never expected others to come to them. We also have a culture whereby people expect others to initiate plans and reach out. You have to do the work with expectations of nothing.
Stephanie, may God bless you with peace and comfort, reassuring you that you will be restored to your family and your fur babies. He gave them to you while here in mortality and He will restore them to you in the eternities. I too have lost my family years ago and I have lost many of my fur babies though I still have some with me. Continue to live in a way which is pleasing to Him and the reward will be immeasurable.
My beautiful older sister lost her husband unexpectedly this past August. We are doing everything we can to help her through the season. It is so hard to see someone you love so much, hurt so much. Thank you for this PSA. 💖
Beautiful, touching story… reminds me of my husband who passed away 3 years ago. Even though I still have my two kids at home with me, my Christmas are no longer the same. There’s less joy and happiness. I miss him so much… I wish I could receive a message from heaven form him like in the story… merry Xmas to everyone and God bells you all
Thank you for sharing your feelings. I'm so sorry for your loss. It's clear how much your husband meant to you, and it's natural that Christmas feels different without him. Your love for him shines through your words, and I hope you find comfort in the memories you shared. Wishing you and your children a peaceful and blessed Christmas. ❤🙏
Lovely story not easy for many at this time of year,we are all human and have lost love ones lost to friends this year will always remember them is all we can do keep remembering them❤ merry christmas to all
👀 My beloved husband of 25 years passed away Christmas Night 5 years ago. It's a terribly difficult time of year. Everybody is deliberately cheerful, and it - subjectively - feels as if the world is rubbing my nose in his absence. This was lovely. But by all the angels and saints! You made him look *exactly* like Jack! Tall, gray hair, beard, moustache, glasses. Wow. I am gobsmacked. 😮
Thank you for sharing your story. I can only imagine how hard this time of year must be for you, and I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s beautiful that this resonated with you, even in such a deeply personal way. And wow-what a touching coincidence that he reminded you of your beloved Jack. Perhaps it’s a little sign that his memory is still so present and alive in your heart. Sending you love and strength this season. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. Facing your first Christmas without your husband must be incredibly hard, especially so soon after his passing. Please be gentle with yourself and take things one day at a time. Sending you strength and comfort during this difficult season.❤

I cannot resume our old traditions. First few years tried to just survive past the holidays and anniversary date. Now I just try to distract myself. I never thought about all the lonely hurting folks at holidays until I lived it myself.
I'm so sorry for your sister's loss, and it's wonderful that you're there to support her, even from afar. Your care and effort mean so much. Wishing you, your sister, and everyone a Merry Christmas filled with love and peace. ❤
Lost my Mum just over 2yrs ago. Everything in my life stopped. Christmas is so hard not having her around, I miss her terribly, and Christmas doesn't seem the same anymore 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss 😢. Losing your mum leaves a space that can never truly be filled, and it’s especially hard during the holidays. Be kind to yourself and take it one moment at a time. Sending you love, comfort, and strength this Christmas ❤️✨.
I've lost my significant other, both parents, sister and a niece. Three of them within 10 months, two of them within two weeks of each other. I've always dreamed of a nice Christmas and hope to one day have it. This will be my 6th Christmas alone. Last week I had to have my 17 yr old dog put to sleep. I keep holding my head up as I've entered retirement and will not be defeated.
I'm so deeply sorry for all the losses you’ve endured. Your resilience through such profound heartache is incredibly inspiring. I hope that one day your dream of a beautiful Christmas comes true, filled with warmth and love. You’ve already shown such strength-please know you’re not alone, and others are rooting for you. Sending you peace and comfort this season. ❤
Thank you! This was beautiful! I think we can all relate in some way. I will be alone as I always am but I am now inspired to do what I did when I was young. I volunteered at places such as the Salvation Army. I am disabled but perhaps there is something I can do to make someone feel loved. Isn’t that what it’s all about?
@luminolab- no- thank you for sharing your kindness with so many and creating such happiness joy and community! It’s so important and needed. You’re wonderful! Happy holidays to you and your loved ones! ❤️
Such a sweet story I know how it feels I lost my daughter 8 years ago and my eldest daughter lives in America with her husband and two children it is very hard I feel especially for the elderly that are left on there own heartbreaking thankyou ❤️👍🏻🥲
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry for the loss of your daughter and the distance from your eldest-it must be so difficult, especially during the holidays. I hope you find moments of comfort in the love and memories you hold close. Sending you warmth and care. ❤️
What a beautiful reminder. Thank you for this. It's a shame that so many are suffering and alone. My biggest prayer this year is that we end all of the division, hurt and pain and get back to the true meaning of life: loving one another as God loves us. Be blessed. 🙏💖✨
Ten years today my husband died. My kids are not near. I spend a lot of holidays alone, but I find things to do to make my own traditions. I am worth the effort. It's a type of lonely that is manageable.
I may not be elderly, but I know what it's like to be alone like this. Along with the Elderly, there is another group within the community that can be just as lonely, & that's people with disabilities. I'm in a wheelchair & have a number of chronic health conditions. I've never been married, never had a partner, or had children. Something I wanted more than anything. Each day that goes by, you hope that someone stops at your door instead of walking by. Or leave you a little something to show someone cares. No-one should be lonely. Everyone needs to feel loved.
That's AI prompting for you. No true artists to help develop a truly cohesive story line and pretty much ripping off the development and hard work put in by the artists at Pixar.
I dunno, but it’s weird he came out of nowhere lol. The thumbnail had me thinking the old man got a dog for Christmas. This is why people shouldn’t use AI to create stuff. It’s just all prompts put into a generator and it spits out nonsense. Everything about it is uncanny and off putting.
Oh my goodness. That was beautiful. It's easy to think that we are too busy to find time for other people and it can make such a difference, it doesn't need to be a big act. Thank you for making us think again.
This was heartwarming, but also sad. I heard a similar story of a young man who had a wife & young kids. His young son always wated a dog, but him & his wife said no. The man was diagnosed with cancer & passed a year later. On the boy's bday, there was a knock at the door, a delivery of a puppy. Everyone wondered who sent it until the card was read. It was a gift & letter written by the dad, instructed to be delivered on the boy's bday after he had passed.
Loneliness can suck the air right out of life. Start by wishing someone each day that they try to remember the joys of their life and then celebrate that in their own way. Get out and mingle even though you don't feel like it. Great animation.
As a mother and a grandmother . A lot of people have lost loved ones on the holidays. But I just want to tell you that you are not alone our lord Jesus is with you every single day. The shiny bright star in the sky will always shine and remind you that he is always there with you. So I wish everyone happy holidays and may this year bring you many many blessings and that all your prayers may be answered. Always cherish those good memories that no one can take away from you❤
Holidays are especially hard....really anyone alone at any age at any time is very difficult... Wouldnt be something if those in the same situation were to meet & never be alone again❤
I'm not sure I consider myself "elderly" at 62, but I do usually spend the holidays by myself. I can probably count on one hand how many pleasant Christmas's I've had so it's not really like I can remember any good ones?
Thank you for sharing your feelings. I’m sorry to hear that the holidays have been difficult for you. It’s never too late to create new, meaningful moments, even if it’s just something small that brings you peace or joy. Sending you warmth and wishing you comfort this season.
This was the most heartfelt story...brought a tear thinking about all that went by..it feels like many don't know the real essence of Christmas...I'm happy I watched this ❤❤💋💋
Some days I feel like Arthur and I have not lost a partner. I do not have a partner. I have children who mean much to me. But still some days I feel alone no matter the time of year
Aw that’s me crying already . I’m a huge fan of the Movie Up! When I knew VW had a car model called Up! I bought it in 2023. And I’m an sketcher and have sketches of Carl and Ellie . Seeing this today has warmed my heart . Thank you very much ❤ Merry Christmas everyone
Even being alone doesn't have to be lonely. Enjoy nature out your window, watch the birds at a feeder . Make hot apple cider or eggnog ! Beautiful story ! Happy Holidays everyone !
I'm 70, with no living relatives. No parents, no siblings, no spouse, no children. All of them have passed away. When I reflect on life ~ with no one to share the thoughts with and exchange memories ~ the melancholy just makes it worse. Everyone thinks I'm fine because I don't complain. I'm not.

Many are like you....

These have to be the same folks that produced the movie, "UP." It's one my absolute favorite animated movies.
It's not. Ai pics with Up prompting.
'... better to have loved and lost...than never to have loved at all...'
I'm in the never loved at all category.

This will be my 7 christmas without my husband would of been 55 years if he had lived. Miss him so much. But his new home is in Heaven .😢

I've lost my significant other, both parents, sister and a niece. Three of them within 10 months, two of them within two weeks of each other. I've always dreamed of a nice Christmas and hope to one day have it. This will be my 6th Christmas alone. Last week I had to have my 17 yr old dog put to sleep. I keep holding my head up as I've entered retirement and will not be defeated.
❤
I'm so deeply sorry for all the losses you’ve endured. Your resilience through such profound heartache is incredibly inspiring. I hope that one day your dream of a beautiful Christmas comes true, filled with warmth and love. You’ve already shown such strength-please know you’re not alone, and others are rooting for you. Sending you peace and comfort this season. ❤

Ein wunderschöner Film ❤ ein schönes Weihnachtsfest wünsche ich allen aus Deutschland 🎄🧑🎄
Thank you for sharing your story 😊
Nadie debería esta solo en Navidad. Para aquellos que lo estan, les deseo un grande y hermoso milagro en ésta Navidad 🎄
What a beautiful reminder. Thank you for this. It's a shame that so many are suffering and alone. My biggest prayer this year is that we end all of the division, hurt and pain and get back to the true meaning of life: loving one another as God loves us. Be blessed. 🙏💖✨
The pain is a gift. It means we are alive, and we were lucky enough to love someone more than ourselves. This is what it means to be a human being.
Wow!! Nice story....
I lost my Mom 2 years ago and now I lost my Dad just before Chirstmas. This short film touch my heart Thank u so much
Thank you for this very touching story 😪
thanks for being here!
Merry Christmas
Happy holidays! ❤
Ten years today my husband died. My kids are not near. I spend a lot of holidays alone, but I find things to do to make my own traditions. I am worth the effort. It's a type of lonely that is manageable.
So cute story. ❤❤❤
thanks for watching! ❤❤❤❤
This made me a little sad, but also brought my spirit _UP!_ Those we Love never stop being part of us, and that Love enriches the Universe. Always.😊
I think she came to get him in the End….That,my Friends,is Eternal Love ❤
How Sweet Thank You for the Upload 😊
I may not be elderly, but I know what it's like to be alone like this. Along with the Elderly, there is another group within the community that can be just as lonely, & that's people with disabilities. I'm in a wheelchair & have a number of chronic health conditions. I've never been married, never had a partner, or had children. Something I wanted more than anything. Each day that goes by, you hope that someone stops at your door instead of walking by. Or leave you a little something to show someone cares. No-one should be lonely. Everyone needs to feel loved.
Beautiful 💖
Thank you! 😊
As Tiny Tim said, "God bless us, everyone". You are never truly alone!
Love it. Love it!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤ krásný příběh lásky
HERMOSO💖🌎
Love this🎄❤️
thanks for watching!
3:35 Where did the dog come from? There was no mention of him before in the story.
That's AI prompting for you. No true artists to help develop a truly cohesive story line and pretty much ripping off the development and hard work put in by the artists at Pixar.
I dunno, but it’s weird he came out of nowhere lol. The thumbnail had me thinking the old man got a dog for Christmas. This is why people shouldn’t use AI to create stuff. It’s just all prompts put into a generator and it spits out nonsense. Everything about it is uncanny and off putting.
Oh my goodness. That was beautiful. It's easy to think that we are too busy to find time for other people and it can make such a difference, it doesn't need to be a big act. Thank you for making us think again.
This was heartwarming, but also sad. I heard a similar story of a young man who had a wife & young kids. His young son always wated a dog, but him & his wife said no. The man was diagnosed with cancer & passed a year later. On the boy's bday, there was a knock at the door, a delivery of a puppy. Everyone wondered who sent it until the card was read. It was a gift & letter written by the dad, instructed to be delivered on the boy's bday after he had passed.
Loneliness can suck the air right out of life. Start by wishing someone each day that they try to remember the joys of their life and then celebrate that in their own way. Get out and mingle even though you don't feel like it. Great animation.
As a mother and a grandmother . A lot of people have lost loved ones on the holidays. But I just want to tell you that you are not alone our lord Jesus is with you every single day. The shiny bright star in the sky will always shine and remind you that he is always there with you. So I wish everyone happy holidays and may this year bring you many many blessings and that all your prayers may be answered. Always cherish those good memories that no one can take away from you❤
Bellissimo video mi piace tantissimo con il cuore ❤️😍💋😘
grazie! ❤❤❤
Holidays are especially hard....really anyone alone at any age at any time is very difficult...
Wouldnt be something if those in the same situation were to meet & never be alone again❤
I'm not sure I consider myself "elderly" at 62, but I do usually spend the holidays by myself. I can probably count on one hand how many pleasant Christmas's I've had so it's not really like I can remember any good ones?
Thank you for sharing your feelings. I’m sorry to hear that the holidays have been difficult for you. It’s never too late to create new, meaningful moments, even if it’s just something small that brings you peace or joy. Sending you warmth and wishing you comfort this season.
@luminolab Thank you
Great Story and a Great Short Film!
Lost my wife Carla in 2021, been together for 37 years, miss her every day.
The Holidays can be terribly difficult for many, very lonely. Look for ways to be a blessing to someone today❤
This has brought tears to my eyes. As I spend another holiday season alone. I am very strong, but sometimes it would be nice oh well. Merry Christmas
❤ reminds me of my dad every year after my passed away 2years after they married. Now together again.
This was the most heartfelt story...brought a tear thinking about all that went by..it feels like many don't know the real essence of Christmas...I'm happy I watched this ❤❤💋💋
Fantastic film 😊
Many thanks!
Some days I feel like Arthur and I have not lost a partner. I do not have a partner. I have children who mean much to me. But still some days I feel alone no matter the time of year
thanks for watching. I hope you find moments of comfort and connection this year. Sending you warmth and hugs.
Whomever made this, THANK YOU!! TV Dinners on your tv tray in front of the television in solitude every holiday, year after lonely year is painful.
Your love ones never leave you. What a blessing to have such lovely reminders. Thank You 🙏
Its not only elderly its people who could never have their own families too.
This is just beautiful.
Lily was trying to tell him to lighten up! She’s not gone, just transformed!

Aw that’s me crying already . I’m a huge fan of the Movie Up! When I knew VW had a car model called Up! I bought it in 2023. And I’m an sketcher and have sketches of Carl and Ellie . Seeing this today has warmed my heart . Thank you very much ❤ Merry Christmas everyone
