This time of year can be very painful for those who have lost loved ones. I know that I certainly felt like hiding and forgetting the holidays all together, but a very wise person suggested to donate my time and perhaps it will help to work through my pain. I did... and it did. Don't get me wrong .. I still grieved and it was still painful, but for a time by helping others ... I truly forgot my own pain. The first year of holidays are the hardest and with each year you will feel stronger. Soon you will be able to enjoy the holidays and remember your mother with happiness and fond memories in a place where those painful ones are now.
I am so sorry for your loss and your pain and I hope that you are able to find peace. God bess.... |
