Who do you wish could be with you this Christmas?

[NovemberMorn]

For me, my mother.
There will always be an empty space now around the Christmas table.
I would love just one more Christmas day for us to spend together.

Who (alive or dead) do you wish you could spend Christmas day with?

My grandparents

Sorry about your loss. We lost our wonderful step dad last year we had a toast to him before dinner. I hope user able to find some comfort on Christmas Day. Yes new year was hard.

My mum. She died when I was 8 and I'd love to see her now I'm an adult. My memories of her are hazy but lovely. 🌺 to everyone missing someone at Christmas xxx

My lovely parents. Df died 12 years ago but still so missed. Dm is still with us but has dementia and can no longer visit or remember us.
I so wish they'd got to be proper grandparents as they would have loved Christmas with my dc.
I have their things around me and will visit dm over Christmas, just so wish they could properly share it with us.

My beautiful son. He died aged 18 from a brain tumour 10 years ago. He loved Christmas and it will never be the same without him.

If we can have more than one back also my Mum. Lost her a year after my son and I still need my Mum.

These family festivities are difficult for those missing loved ones.

Love to all and may we find moments of peace where our loved ones can be remembered.

I hear you. The loss is so profound and has such a lasting effect, you have no lovely memories to comfort you. There's just the grief and the void.

There's no easy grief though, every loss is hard. for everyone

My dear batty old nan.

It was always a drama, but honestly it doesn't feel the same without it, bless her.

My 2 babies I lost and my fiends baby who died in a car crash this year

Like so many pp’s my dear mum and dad so they could see their great grand daughter and my Nan who I was very close to. Also two dear friends of mine who died too soon and who I miss very much.

Or gary barlow

Edit to add david bowie after the pp above reminded me. What a guy

I wish dbro could be with us and we could have had our family get together as we always did the weekend before Christmas. Dbro loved Christmas, me not so much and I generally work so before Christmas worked well for everyone.

Sadly our lives were turned upside down when he got hit by a car and died earlier this year so we are getting together Christmas day in his honour. We will be raising a glass or 2 to him, I’m sure.

Thank you for all the replies, so sad and heartfelt. My thoughts go out to all of us who have lost our beautiful loved ones, they will forever be missed.
I hope everyone can raise a glass (or a cup) to them on Christmas day.
Love never dies. x

Oh, the father of my son. He died whilst I was pregnant. It was nearly 31 years ago now, but I would still like a catch up.

I would give him a piece of my mind, but I would love to see him and have a chat and call him out on a few things I discovered after his death!!😄🤐
