I want to wish each and everyone of you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I know you are probably not feeling it. I remember those days. But you will in time. Things will go back to normal or even better..
Hang in there and believe that it will get better regardless of the outcome...

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Merry Christmas & happy holidays to everyone reading here!
Rick, a few years ago when I started reading here, everything felt so hopeless. I experienced the hardest Christmas of my life--and I recall everyone around me opening gifts and laughing--as I just stared into space.
You are correct tho: it does get better. I am happier and stronger than before. I don't think it's because I reconciled my marriage, but I think it's because I have that I will be okay, no matter how hard it gets and no matter who comes and goes from my life!

Merry Christmas everyone. The people here have already helped me so much, in terms on getting to grips with my feelings and the emotional roller coaster.
I felt the sadness creeping in this morning, but then managed to just focus on the kids and shelve it, and you know, it hasn't been as bad as I'd worried.
May 2017 bring a brighter and more positive future for you all.

This is my first Christmas alone, but I am trying to do the best I can. I have had moments of sadness and wanting to call him, but I decided to take a walk on the beach with the dogs instead.
