That's lovely. I'm so glad you posted that as I lost a friend last Friday and have been feeling very up and down about it. Literally five minutes before reading your thread I found a penny so it's bought a tear to my eye but also a smile. Thank you xxJanuary budget

I think that is a lovely poem and a lovely idea. You have a lot of courage and sensitivity; I think a lot of us forget that Christmas can sometimes be a difficult time. A family friend of ours lost his wife suddenly on Christmas Eve a couple of years ago (leaving three young boys all under 10). He sees Christmas very bravely as a time of celebration of life as well as of quiet reflection and remberance. I think this is entirely appropriate for the festive board

I agree. Very sensitive.
Its not all about holly and crackers and overspending.
Its about real people with real lives and problems which are always highlighted at this time of year.0 -
Thats lovely and bought a tear to my eye. Fortunately I don't have anyone to send it to which I count my blessing for. xx
Its made me think too of others now who won't have such a lovely time.0 -
It's true, people don't always want presents, they just want to be thought of and that lovely message would touch the heart of anyone.
What a thoughtful person you are and my condolences for the loss of your child, I can't even imagine how awful that must be xx0 -
That is lovely I am sure it will be appreciated.
A friend of mine lost a child near christmas a couple of years ago I bought her a very discreet angel brooch- you can get them in most card shops right now.She wears it on whichever bag she is using. It is so hard I agonised for weeks before I gave her it and she said it brings her lots of comfort.
We often forget dont we when we are caught up with our plans that christmas can be a very isolating time for some people I hope your aunt and the rest of your family finds the strength to get through it with the comfort of each other.0 -
Oh, that's a lovely post, thank you. Christmas can be a difficult time for many people, for different reasons and I hope on MSE we can reflect that as well.
The poem is lovely, thank you again MPxxPrevious debt: £14K :embarasse Debt free: Sept '03MFW#42 Mortgage OP savings £4271.18/£12000 2019

I think its lovely too - thinking of what to write in a Christmas card for example to someone who is recently bereaved can be very difficult, yu don;t want to bring them down by writing sombre words or be seen to ignore the bereavement but that would be a lovely verse to write to show you are thinking of them. Hope you won't be so nervous posting next time you have a good idea :T0

Certainly entirely appropriate for the celebrations board

And if you want to post the idea for a baby too I think that would be lovely...DFW Nerd #025DFW no more! Officially debt free 2017 - now joining the MFW's!
