sometimes it feels like I'm pulling my heart out of my chest. This just hit me really hard...it rang so true. Sending peace and comfort to you and everyone who is missing their special loved ones.

I'm fairly lucky.. I don't really have anyone (KNOCK ON WOOD) that is close like my mom or (dad)(not that I would miss him, he is alive but we do not speak) or sibilings that have passed on. All my grandparents died when I was pretty young. I would say I wasn't really close to them (my grandmas) because we just never lived close by. I loved them of course and miss them, but there isn't a missing hole. My grandpas all died before I was born.
I know though when it will be my mom or sister.. that will be rough. Then my stepmum will be a different kinda of missing.. but still very sad.. She's been awesome in my life (and divorced from dad).. she will always be the stepmum..

Thank you for starting this thread.
I miss my parents. It’s been many years, but somehow it’s more difficult this year. I recently found a letter from my dad, to me, that I had never seen before. A beautiful letter, but I have been a little...fragile since. I wish they could see how amazing my kids are, the kind and talented young adults they have become. I think they’d be proud.
Hugs to all of you.

I miss my dad. He passed away in February and we just had a quarantined Thanksgiving and his birthday right in a row. Today I was looking at photos to find a baby picture of ds for his senior yearbook spread and spent all day crying remembering all of the wonderful times we had. I miss him. DS is being incredibly difficult right now and I wish he was here.

Big hugs to everyone who is grieving and missing someone this holiday season. I hope you are able to find some joy. My DH - this is my 2nd Christmas without him and truth be told - it's a bit a harder than last year I do think the 2nd year with things like this hits harder, or feels more real. Grief can numb, and then it wears off and yeah... A friend of mine lost his father to suicide in November three years ago. He also said that the second Christmas without him was harder than the first, in a way. The first one was just a blur of grief and shock.

I talk about my mom often here. She passed in early January 2015, I think she hung on for us because Christmas was her favorite Holiday she was only 65. I struggle every day. I decorate her grave each month because I want to include her in our life and today that was what I documented in my December Daily. Sending hugs to everyone.

My daughter Phoebe’s birthday was last Monday the 7th. She died when she was 9 and would be 14 this year. There is not a moment that goes by that I do not miss her with every fiber of my being. She was joy personified and one of those kids who everybody instantly loved.

I just thought it would be nice to have a space to share about people we are missing, especially at Christmas/holiday time, if it helps or gives anyone peace. My niece died today. They think a brain anyorism(?). I just talked to her yesterday. She was 31.

My daddy, I miss him so much I just want to FaceTime with him and I can't. Tomorrow will be one month since he died and I'm not feeling much in the holiday spirit but I did finally put the tree up for our kiddos. The hard part is he passed away a day before my husbands birthday. So every year from now one it will never be the same. Also I have to try to get into the holiday spirit because my son loves Christmas and then 2 days later it's his birthday.

They think a brain anyorism(?). I just talked to her yesterday. She was 31. I’m so sorry. What a horrible shock. I miss my husband. This is the second Christmas without him. He loved how our house looks when decorated for Christmas. I waffled about what to do this year - buying new decorations and then the next day wondering if I wanted to do any decorating at all. I ended up doing some things differently than we used to (decorating last year was not a good experience so I knew I had to change some things) but in the end I knew I would feel even worse if I didn’t decorate. To add to missing him, my aunt died October 7th and my mom on November 1st, and they were the last of their generation in my family. More big losses and changes. Two of my uncles, including the one I was closest to, died several years ago on Christmas Eve - the same year - so there are lots of emotions mixed into the holiday.

I miss my parents. They died in 2019, mom in March and dad in July. Nothing will ever be the same.

My brother passed 11/13/2013 and then my dad 11/16/2015 - so every November I tell myself, this will be the year I don’t lose it...and I fail.
I read all of your sorrows with tears streaming down my face. Hugs to everyone missing a loved one, be it yesterday or years ago that you lost them.

My sister used to spend every Christmas with us and this will be the third year she will not be here, driving me to distraction. I would have insisted she spend lockdown with us from the spring had she not passed, rather than being alone in a tiny apartment. Special thoughts right now for my friend whose husband of just two months left their home 5 weeks ago and has not been seen since. Her distress is beyond heartbreaking.
