“This is my second Christmas since my wife passed away last year.”

This is the second since I lost a son. His birthday was the 27th. My wife is downstairs and refuses to be comforted. I'm upstairs with his dog. I think he knows how rough it is for me right now because he's been at my side trying to comfort me all evening. Next Sunday we will have our Christmas and I'll get to see all the grand kids and things will be better.

I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I lost a nephew in 2013 (he was 25) and a niece in September this year (she was 30). It is hard all of the time, but the holidays are the worst.

Give your wife a hug from the FReepers who have also lost loved ones. This is my 3rd Christmas since my husband died. I will be spending this weekend at yet another funeral. My cousin’s son was murdered on Monday.

So sorry to read about your loss! Way worse than anything I’m experiencing.

:(

May your arm reach out to her anyway...

I’m so sorry, CrazyIvan. May God comfort you and your wife.

[Skooz]

I’m so sorry.

I'm very sorry. Your pain must be almost unbearable.

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks.

There is nothing like losing a child. My younger daughter died in 2004, then in May, 2006, my brother died, in July, 2006, my husband died and then in January, 2007, my mom died. For some reason, this year has been hard. God bless.
