Well, I posted in here earlier to tell StormyBay I was thinking of her, and that I lost my mum out of the blue this year, so was finding the run up to Christmas hard. And today I get a call from my friend, her DH passed away, suspected heart attack. He was only 43. I just didn't know what to say. Be glad when this year is over.

Live for the moment and never take your loved ones forgranted everyone. Thinking of everyone who has lost someone. xx

Being there for her is much more than you could ever say.

Well, we are but minutes away from Christmas Day. I just wanted to add my heartfelt good wishes and fondest thoughts to all who need the strength and courage to soldier on through the day. For filling in where our spouse/parent/best friend et al would have filled the gaps, and just getting on with it - whether you feel like it or not, but usually for the benefit of those we love.

Personally, it's the 4th anniversary for my family without my husband. It does become easier to bear, somehow. In my case it has been the children who have made it possible to still look forward, as has been shown by Stormy this year with her loving family.

May all who need it find the comfort, love, time to reflect and peace this Christmastime.

Best wishes to you all.

Saw your thread and thought surely it can't be a year. Last year i decided to ditch a long term friend who was being horrible, life is too short. This year I thought that life is too short to lose friends without one more try. Turns out that she thought it was her fault and she has had major surgery this year. She is only 40 same as me, so it was a great shock to her.

Stormy and everyone else you have all helped us to bring light to our own dark places whether they are there because of death, illness or another reason. thank you for showing that there is true good in the human spirit.

I've always followed this thread and, whilst I was not directly affected, until yesterday, my thoughts have always been with those who lose 'loved ones' especially at times which should be associated with more joyous emotions.
Yesterday evening my wife's uncle died - it was not totally unexpected, as he had had an operation, six months ago, to remove a tumor, and, whilst at home, was receiving heavy medication, although he was quite lucid when my wife visited yesterday afternoon.
Most of his relations are in his native Italy, therefore my wife has always been quite close to him, and it was a natural choice for his wife to call my wife to help out with the 'aftermath', which will include repatriation of the body for burial in Italy.
Mourning, as anyone else with Italian relations will understand, is a very serious affair and, as her aunty is totally unable to cope, my wife will be trying to organise things for her - not easy during the Christmas period as 'officialdom' seems to completely shut down.
His death will not, obviously, have the same impact on us as did that of 'stormy's' OH or many others who post in this thread. However, it has brought the 'fragility' of life a bit closer and makes me appreciate just how well you have all managed to cope with things.

So sorry to hear about your loss Rog2, I hope you and your wife can find the strength to help each other at this time.

This year has involved me having to say 'goodbye for now', to two really special people.

My father in law who past away on the 27th dec last year and my dear friend who lost her fight with cancer earlier on this month.

So, to all of you who have lost loved ones, but especially Stormy and SaryMclary, I send you light and love. XXX
