RyanAmysMom Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Just saw this as a "typo" on a facebook post - But it's so ironically accurate. Thanks Grieving.... Yep. That's where I'm at this year. Anybody else? Having to face DH's family is so emotionally draining - Since hubby's passing 3 years ago, we also lost his mom, dad, aunt, and uncle.... the dinner table's pretty spacious at this point..... I sincerely pray we can all find some peace, some gratitude, some happiness this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudnlysngl Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) So sorry RAM, It's been 11.5 yrs for me and in the first yr and a half I lost my bf she died and her husband didn't even tell me! My sil, brother, every pet I had , Then everyone else abandoned me except my daughter. And it all remains the same.... Somehow , I find something to be grateful for everyday. We can choose to be better or bitter, and I'm doing my best to be better ☺️ even if the world is trying to make me bitter by taking everything.....

Captains wife Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I used to love Thanksgiving - since my husband died...not so much. I had a nice enough Thanksgiving in the end but for some reason am feeling sad over this holiday season. It's tiring toughing it out alone sometimes...with my ex inlaws it's like a divorce - they spend time with my son, not me and I feel I am always negotiAting time for them to see my son.

sudnlysngl Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'm so sorry CW. Once again the address book has changed and somehow we the widows got erased! Shame on those who have been so damn ugly to us who have been hurt by it all. I know the bible says something about the world is "suppose" to take care of and look out for the widows! Pfft, yeah right, all I've gotten is kicked for it, even had a psychic come up to me at the zoo when my grandson was barely 1 and confirmed that one.... Again, sorry for the lonely holiday's, I'll be thinking of you and lonely with you.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennica Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 RAM, I am right there with you. I do not like to celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas with my in-laws. It is just too much of a reminder and saddening to be there without him. I have been skipping those holidays. I know it’s not fair to the kids. The family has changed so much since he has past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
