I will be alone on Christmas Day. My son and husband were killed in a car accident 2 years ago. My son was my only child and my husband the love of my life. My husband and I moved close to my son and dautgher in law 2 1/2 years ago to help with the children and my house is quite isolated though only 5 miles from my grandchildrens home. I do not drive and there is no direct bus route to my Gg home.
Anyway. I look after the children every day of school holidays my DIL drops them with me and then picks them up after work. Other than that I do not see them as I can not get there without a taxi which is expensive.
I have no siblings and my husband brother lives abroad.
I know I will be very sad again on Christmas Day as I have no one to share it with.
I just feel what is the point of carrying on now.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.
We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek help and support in real life as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We've moved this thread to the Mental Health section now.
