Well hold on tight as it is a challenging time. After losing your partner, Christmas is never the same. Don't beat yourself about it. It is a testament to the love you shared.
I dreaded it and shielded myself somewhat. Only do and go to where you feel okay. If you want to stay home, it is fine. You are the one suffering. Watch bad TV, pig out and cry if you want.
I bought myself a gift for the day to ease the loss and waited until the day passed by.
When you have been together for many years, it is harder to stand alone there feeling terrible in a house of festivity.
Give yourself permission to do what gives you peace and is less stressful.
