I've lost 2 close family members in relatively a short space of time and have another close relative in end of life care. Christmas is making me feel worse! It's all the 'happy/jolly/merry' stuff and if feels so hollow. I'm doing what I have to, putting up decorations but I've put minimal effort into presents and still have sent a single card ☺️. It's just making me feel lonely even though I'm surrounded by people. I wish more people spoke about this difficult element of Christmas.

Thinking of you all tonight. I'm finding it harder than Xmas. Feel like I'm leaving her behind somehow....
