The holiday season for me gets worse not better every year.

First XH left exactly one month before Christmas.
Next there was the coming and going on Christmas day first year of him and latterly of the children so that they get to see each other.
Last year it was my S17 not being here to eat with us.
This year OW is expecting a baby on Christmas day. That particular pain will be there for evermore.

T allow yourself to grieve and most importantly LOVE YOURSELF. It took me 42 years to do this but now that I can I am a different person (and people are telling me this without me even having to say anything)
