Seeking, First I want to apologize to you for your guest's insensitivity. She should not have brought up your h and ow at your party. The comment about the ring has now set you back a bit. Keep in mind, the ow may have purchased the ring herself. If your h had purchased it, I'm sure he would have gone all out with a larger diamond or jewel. So, please take what your guest said with a grain of salt.
As for the holidays, along about October, I would call a family meeting and discuss how the holidays should be handled for 2012. It's time to change up and make new and different traditions within your home. You should not be left with everything to do. I'm with Bea, time to think about doing something different to make your life easier and create new memories.
Again, I am very sorry that your party ended on the note it did. I would do everything in my power to not think about that conversation since you do not have all of the facts.
Hugs to you today....
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.
