The first occasion of any calendar event after a death is always difficult. I hope you have some happy memories of your mum at Christmas, tho, think of those. DD

Yes the first one is very painful. I know you will feel lost and it is difficult to feel any happiness when everyone else seems to be laughing and joking.You don't forget but they get a little easier as the years roll by.You will smile at the happy memories eventually.
My best wishes to you BertyBoy
take care
Elizabeth.

This will be my sixth Christmas without mom. Everything changed mom was the organizer of family. No one phone bill was bigger than my moms. The communication was done through mom about my family she knew everything as she kept in touch. we miss her. Xmas day when you walked in the place was steamed up. cooking smells wafted out and mom was happy but exhausted from getting up making a feast for us.
My brother and sister have my dad as they live near him and on the 3rd year my hubby cooks down dads for everyone. When he does it means a lot to family hubby is great cook and the steam and the cooking smells make the house seem like it should be on Xmas day. But we cannot replace mom. It does get easier in some ways but Xmas for me is dead.
I am sorry to hear about your mom my sympathies to you. cherish the good times you had with her they wont leave you. I love looking and having photos of mine around. I plan to do a scrap book for my son. The first page is the scan photo of my son the only picture she saw. My mom died when i was six months pregnant. this page will be dedicated to her.
thinking of you hugs xjoanne

Hi Berty

I sympathise with you as Christmas is always difficult for me too. Both my parents died at Christmas ( my Dad on Christmas Eve, and my Mum on 18th Dec the following year ) I miss them all the time, but particularly at Christmas.

I try to think of the happy times, and I am thankful that I had such good parents.
