Apologies if there's already a thread, I couldn't see one.

I'd like to remember my beautiful son Tony, who died Christmas day 2020. Missed more than words can say.

Also my wonderful dad who died in May this year.

I'd like to wish everyone grieving a loved one, a peaceful and a happy (as it can be) Christmas.

Obviously you don't have to mention names/add photos if you'd rather not.

So sorry for your losses. Christmas can be a hard time for those who are grieving.

Lovely photos of your son and dad Goldenboysmum. Christmas must be an especially hard time of year for you losing your lovely son on Christmas day. Sending lots of love to you and I will think about you tomorrow.

I'd like to remember my dad and my nana. Both of them brought me up and shaped who I am today. 15 years since my last Christmas with my dad, never quite been the same since. Lots of memories of both of them at this time of year especially.

FredaFox · 24/12/2023 08:58

What a lovely young man, sending you love at this time
I'd like you to remember my dad, 9 years gone but sorely missed, especially sad this year as my mum isn't in the best of health

Love to all

I’d like to remember my beautiful husband who died on New Year’s Eve 2019. Sending love to@Goldenboysmum and all who are missing someone at this time of year. They will be with us in our hearts forever.

Whiskeylover86 · 24/12/2023 15:05

I'd like to remember my dad, Tom, who died April this year suddenly. Miss you daddy. Love you always, your little girl

I'd like to remember my beautiful nephew Dominic who died in April
2022 age 26 in a charity boxing match. He is so, so missed and leaves a void which will never be filled.
I'm so sorry for all your lost loved ones. Christmas is so hard without them.

My beautiful mum who died suddenly a few months ago and my husband who took his own life 3 years ago, myself and the children will be thinking of them and the joy they brought to our lives x

I’d like to remember my Pops (grandad but we called him Pops) who passed away suddenly in September 2022. It would have been his birthday on 27th Dec too so it’s always very heavy this time of year. I miss him and think about him everyday. We had a real bond between us - I still feel that bond with him now. But god, what I’d give to see him again, hear his laugh, have a hug from him.
Nothing is the same since he’s gone. But we carry on the best we can.

Love to all of you on this thread, I hope you all have the best Christmas you can ♥️

Dartmoorcheffy · 24/12/2023 15:30

Mine and DPs best friend who died in a motorbike accident last year. He was 30 and the most fun person to be around. We miss him every day.

Cheeseyfoodlover · 24/12/2023 15:32

My beautiful grandad, 2nd Christmas without him and its still raw. He was Mr christmas and the most generous man ever. Married to nan for 52 years and is missed so much. Lived a good life although was sick for a number of years and suffered towards the end. We love you always. ❤

@Goldenboysmum I will always remember my dear daughter aged 39 who passed away on 27th february 2020 after a long illness leaving two devasted children aged 9 and 11, always in our hearts

FlyingCherub · 24/12/2023 16:01

My Dad died in January. I miss him dreadfully, and have spent the afternoon making a holly wreath to go on his memorial stone. I just want to hear his voice again and tell him I loved him more than he could ever understand.

And remembering my baby son who was stillborn. It may be years on but I still miss him at Christmas. There's always one of us missing round the table.

Sending love and light to everyone missing someone.

chocomoccalocca · 24/12/2023 16:01

I lost a good friend a few years ago now who was far too young but watching the sound of music at Christmas always reminds me of her and makes me cry!!! Love to all those that have lost someone and be kind to yourselves.

DancesWithDucks · 24/12/2023 16:09

It's a very long time ago now but I miss my adoptive mum more than I could ever say, even now. She was a beautiful mum, inside and out. Flawed but loving, warm, kind and there for me.

The world has never been the same since she died and nor has Christmas.

I love you still, Mum. You were the one person in my life who loved me unconditionally and I love you back the same way.

Warmhandscoldheart · 24/12/2023 16:14

Remembering my darling Granddaughter Phoebe, she will always be much loved and greatly missed. And my father, I'll raise a glass to you tomorrow.
Love and understanding to you all 💔❤️

PotteringAlonggotkickedoutandhadtoreregister · 24/12/2023 16:16

My dad. Who I always miss, but who loved Christmas, and us all.

Disabledmomma · 24/12/2023 16:22

I miss my Grandma and Grabdad so much. It's been eight years since she died and 37 for Grandad.

What I wouldn't do to hear her asking me to put the kettle on just once more or have an afternoon with Grandad making something in the tool shed.

Dahliaxnoir · 24/12/2023 16:23

My Dad, third Christmas without him.

lollipoprainbow · 24/12/2023 16:28

Remembering my lovely mum and sister who made Christmas. Will be raising a gin and tonic to them both. ❤️

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 24/12/2023 16:33

My lovely friend who died unexpectedly earlier this year, and who I miss every day. She was the glue that stuck our friendship group together, and at this time of year she'd be the one turning up with mince pies and mulled wine.

weegiemum · 24/12/2023 17:35

Remembering my brother who died in 2022. Second Christmas without him, forever missed x

2Old2Tango · 24/12/2023 17:46

Remembering my dad who we lost in 2017. I miss him so much.

Thoughts to everyone who is missing a loved one x

Investinavest · 24/12/2023 17:52

My mum, who died in May 2020 and would have been 84 on Christmas Day. We took a great photo today that you would have loved. I'll eat a parsnip for you tomorrow, miss you mum. Xx
