Sitting here listening to Christmas music, crying, and missing my mom. Her
first Christmas not here...
Merry Christmas to all!

Elise

I miss my mom too, and especially on Christmas. She died in 2000 shortly
after Christmas in fact. Every now and then the thought of her just comes
into my head, and I feel her loss very keenly. When that happens, it may
sound crazy, but I talk to her as though she were there. Somehow it helps.

Although I lost my mother to cancer and not Alzheimers, there isn't a
day in my life when I don't think about her and wish with all my heart
that she was here. She's been gone since 1974 at the age of 47.

All we can do is cherish the days we have with loved ones, because
life has an element of randomness, and things happen to people that no
one "deserves".

Dear Elise, I am going through the same thing. I lost my Mom to alzheimers
on October 8.
It's a very emotional time.

Take care, cherish the memories
God bless,Pam

Sad time for me also as this is my first Christmas without Mom. (She
passed on September 11 this year.)


Christmas Carols are difficult to listen to without crying but we are
entitled to a tear or two!

I found two Christmas taper candles when I was clearing out my
brother-in-law's house after he passed. (Sis passed several years ago.)
I took a photo of Sis and BIL, a photo of Mom and Dad and talked to each
of them tonight. Then I lit a taper for each couple. I will let the
candles burn until I go to bed then say goodnight to them.

The sadness is still there but I know that it will fade somewhat as the
days, months and years go by.

Hugs to all of you -

Lynn

Christmas was my mother's favorite holiday. I hope she's enjoying from
above and the same for your mother.
smiles,
Elise
