Dear Debbie,
I feel the sme way as you do this year. My Mom passed away on March 3. The first year after a grest loss is the hardest and quite devistating. I have decided to light Christmas candles, make some favorite family recipies that both of my parents used, and to go to church. My husband and I have dedided to focus on teh spiritual side of Christmas this year.
Hang in there Debbie, and I will do the same.
I have lost a brother, sister, and both parents, but the loss of my Mom has been the hardest one.
