I hope you will feel joy and happiness too as your heart is hurting. <br /><br />Last week was so sad for us. It was thing after thing. Kaish had an especially hard time. He didn't want to talk about anything. Parenting my teens has been so hard this year. I feel like a failure 10 out of 10 days. <br /><br />I am going to pray for you right now. Praying for peace and relief from the sadness. This is the song I keep playing over and over this morning: http://youtu.be/zvCBSSwgtg4. I think you told me about it. : )Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874897254332872367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-66169239135485387782014-12-19T22:43:38.900-06:002014-12-19T22:43:38.900-06:00Mary, this is beautiful xxxMary, this is beautiful xxxSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274481412344071315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-12958659284043646752014-12-19T09:17:41.683-06:002014-12-19T09:17:41.683-06:00My dad died 27 years ago after "successful&qu...My dad died 27 years ago after "successful" surgery. He was only 65 (my age today). My nephew was born several HOURS after our dad passed. We choose to celebrate the joy of a new life than the passing during the Holidays ~ I know our dad would have wanted that but it is still hard at times and, as you say, we "soldier on" through the pain.

I have several family members dealing with the loss of a loved one this year, plus another who has a diagnosis of melanoma and has to make some tough decisions. It's good to wish them a happy Christmas, but to remember they are not very joyful this year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960399061051695277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-91554363100267029282014-12-18T13:37:19.511-06:002014-12-18T13:37:19.511-06:00Thank you for that beautiful comment.

This is such a beautiful post. My thoughts ...Donna,<br />This is such a beautiful post. My thoughts at this time of the year are so muddled. Grateful for the blessings, heartbroken for the losses. Missing the traditions, lost and hopeful for new traditions. No, there is no "snap out of it" nor should there be. We need to walk through this. Learning and growing with each step. <br />love you<br />mean it<br />c<br />xoxoCherylhttp://www.acoastalpointofview.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-33793797294428521952014-12-18T11:28:46.640-06:002014-12-18T11:28:46.640-06:00Thinking of you, Jep, as you miss your sister.

Five years later she remarried a wonderful man - my second dad. They had two more children and were blessed with almost 30 years of happiness together. He died of cancer 19 years ago on December 12th. My mom couldn't believe she was suffering another loss during the Christmas season. My dad loved Christmas so very much, so we remember that when all six of us "kids" get together with my mom on December 12th every year and celebrate him. Such a mixture of feelings ... <br /><br />I'm sorry you are feeling sad and will pray for comfort for you and all those feeling pain. Love you.
