General Forum - Great start to Christmas. Not. - Page 1
Elite
I don't like Christmas much & am glad it's over normally. I still put up a big tree & lots of lights. This year that all changed when our ex student, now a real friend said she was coming over from Japan for Christmas. For the first time in a long time I was llooking forward to Christmas. Then a phone call telling me my sister had been found dead, she was 55. We had fallen out over my mothers will 20 years ago, but it came as a shock & I can't explain my feelings as I am now very sad & can only think of the times before, strange really. I never thought I would feel this way. Then this morning we were told that our neighbour 2 doors away had passed away. I don't know his age, probably late 70s. He was one of the nicest people you can meet. He always stopped to talk. Recently his wife had a stroke & he visited her every day in hospital for weeks. Last week she was brought home & he was telling us about it. It seems she fell over in the home & while he was picking her up he either got or made worse a strangulated hernia & died from it. His wife is now in a home, but doesn't know about him.

wow, sorry to hear about all that. 2 doors down from us lived an elderly man and his son. The father passed recently so when I was talking to the son the other day he understandably wasn't looking forward to Christmas either

Sorry to hear about your sister, it must be difficult to deal with the mixed emotions.
I hope the student coming over makes things nicer for you!

Paull you have all my sympathy, working out how you feel at this moment is hard but you need to take the time to sort your emotions.
I lost my Mum 4 months ago, this will be the first Christmas of my life that she won't be there.
I'm really not looking forward to it, but my Mum loved Christmas & wouldn't want us to feel unhappy. I've just been to her grave to leave flowers.
Good luck to you & your family at this difficult time.

Thoughts are with you guys, as well as for my own dad, whose been & out of hospital three times in as many months.
My outlook on life is positive & carefree, I'm positive that I'm a pessimist & I don't care what what you think.
Never has so little had to be explained by me to so many so often.

Our thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.
