My daughter died on Christmas day, and I am struggling this year.

She was 9 years old and it was 6:50am 8 years ago Christmas day she went peacefully in my arms.

I can talk about it to family and friends but this year, I don't know, it's just hitting me harder. I don't want to put too much on to anyone else close to me so am trying to be strong but Christ, it is not easy. Please can I ask everyone to just think of my beautiful girl on Christmas day and without sadness, send love to her wherever she may be.

And once loved, always loved VilootShesCut thanks for sharing it with us love to you.

lily sorry for your loss. And for your kind words

VilootShesCute Thinking of you both, all good wishes to you and love to your daughter..

I was thinking about you today ladies, I hope your days went as well as they could do for you.

We let our balloons go yesterday for all the people we have loved and lost. It could have been emotional but the children argued over which colour balloon they wanted, when to let them go and whose was floating away the quickest! It was lovely though. To know people on here were thinking of our lost ones means a lot. Thank you

I am so glad that this thread has helped a bit, and that you have the blessed distraction of children doing what they do best: being themselves, whatever the circumstances.
