    My mom passed away two years ago this past September. Time does help, and I remind myself she was 93 so it was her time. But the Holidays are that time of year when it is the hardest. A small example there is a grocery store here in USA, big in the south that a number of years ago sold salt and pepper shakers. For Thanksgiving they had pilgrims, for Christmas snowman, and had some Easter ones as well. Well my mom bought me a set of each. So every Holiday I bring them out! And all the memories come with them. And one of my older brothers was found dead two days before Thanksgiving 10 years ago. So I hear where you are coming from......

    I am sorry. I am happy about the shakers, though.

    Loneliness doesn't make you sad?

    People can feel loneliness in many different ways

    Same as feeling sad
    but I’m really happy most times and lonely all the time

    Oddly enough this is why certain holidays bug me... I have never spent Xmas/thanksgiving alone but I think it is so hard for those that maybe do not have anybody to spend it with for whatever reason, and then they feel even worse because it is Xmas/thanksgiving day and you should be with friends and family.

    To me the build up to Xmas now is just ridiculous between the stores pushing people to buy and buy and the people putting their trees up two months before.

    Anothing thing that bugs me is if there is something in the news tragic someone died, etc. people will say/post...so sad especially this time of year (Xmas) and it is like wtf I think it would be sad regardless of the time of year.

    Just my two cents but I should add that I am also one of those people that, every year, is happy to have Xmas and New years over with and life gets back to normal routine.

    Okay holidays are over for now. Over.

    We have some time before December 24th to avoid all the annoyance of forced nostalgia, sentimental demands and cringeworthy social pressures so let's all relax into the next 30 days without succumbing to the madness.

    I had let me sweet pal Finnegan go on Wednesday, to relieve his suffering. This is the longest weekend I've ever had.yhdrnuuyo51u.jpg

    Aww that is sad. I am sorry. He looks adorable here. How old was he and what happened to him that he was sick?

    Yes my son passed about 3 years ago and my daughter was insanely busy with her business today. This is the second year for this. I found things to do, but for all the holidays I will plan on it being this way and if she has a freer schedule, it will be a bonus. How about you?

    Hugs and my deepest sympathies!!!💔😞

    You're very understanding and I'm sure your daughter really appreciates you so much and wants to be with you! I hope everything settles down and you get the time you deserve!!!!🤗💕

    Sometimes I feel lonely even if I have lots of people around. Which depresses me even thinking about it. It’s not even because I’m not happy, in the bigger picture I am. I have a loving husband. Three amazing children. Vinny my partner in crime. I have what one would consider a normal life. Sometimes I actually prefer solitude, which is something I’m rarely granted. So it’s definitely something internal. Depression is definitely something real. It’s funny how so little people would even know that about me in my real life. Heck, I didn’t even understand that’s what I was feeling at first as well. Yet, most people in my own family don’t believe depression is a real thing. They believe depression to be someone’s excuse to be lazy. I am by far not a “lazy” person but I know what it feels like to feel sad and lonely. Even if I internalize it.

    You and I are kindred spirits. Depression has a large hold on me right now, no particular reason, every reason. It is easier to internalize it than try to explain to anyone what's going on in my head.
