Sorry you are having it tough , I found I wanted my mums opinion as she was ‘neutral’ and I often initially ‘forgot’ she’d gone , it took a couple of years with me . I hope you get past the hard part soon butvyou will when readywhen it’sIt'll be my first Christmas without mom
I've requested to work, it'll be weird enough being alone/not having her around. It was her favourite holiday, she'd even dress the cat.
Poor fella accepted everything tho, pretty sure his street cred took a beating tho

It's been 4,5 months now, but it's been roughter the last couple of weeks, thought I was past the worst.
Can still reach for the phone as a reflex to call and ask for advice on something
Plenty of friends that have offered "a seat at the table", but I'll keep for myself, bit tiresome to keep up a somewhat satisfied facade.
Hopefully she'll be able to celebrate it with Homer (the chubby cat) at a better place

It’s a difficult time of year after such an important person passes away.
Tbh every Christmas I find a mixture of fun, but also emotional as you remember those no longer here.
Hopefully in time you’ll be dressing cats up too?
Merry Xmas everyone.
Before the chaos starts, I always allow myself a little time to reflect on my mum, who died on Xmas day. In 2008, following a short illness she was admitted to HRI ten days before Xmas.I was immediately advised to get the family together, as she only had hours left. She was put in her own room and in a lot of pain, We were concerned that understaffed nurses clearly weren’t able to give her the care she needed. As it became apparent that she was going to survive through night, they actually agreed we could use a spare room for dad to get his head down. She continued to defy medical predictions. Ten days later on Xmas day we finally persuaded dad to come away to have a Xmas dinner. She died peacefully when she was finally alone.
Just reflecting on the irony. She loved Xmas and family been around her. She was determined to see Xmas day and managed to engineer having family around her for 10 extra days! And yet she enjoyed her privacy, so chose to pass when she finally had some time alone, in.a dignified manner with no fuss. Again, exactly as she would have wanted it.
Miss you mum x

It'll be a simple toast - Please raise a glass to absent friends.

A nice touch there from the lads.
Though Doc's Scottish accent has a touch of the Hull about it and Elder sounds like he's giving a post match interview.

Not too bad
Got a glass of red on the go now tho
