This Christmas is very hard for me. In the past 6 months I have lost 5 family members. First I lost a 28 year old nephew, then my sister, then my father, then another sister and the last one my step father. So my story is tell everyone you love them because you may never get another chance to do it again. Merry Christmas all.

Merry Christmas - it is always sad to loose a family member - but to have more than one pass in the same year - it has to be very hard - I will be praying for you.

How tragic for you and your family. I am wishing for you peace and memories of the good times. I am learning to tell my family I love them, we were never that kind of family and it feels bad when it takes terrible things happening to make you say those 3 words before you hang up the phone. We are working on hugs too.
Hugs to you, Debra

I empathize. I lost both parents before I turned twelve. I am the only one who calls siblings yearly. I have a sister that I love and don't know. I will call her. Merry Christmas and Blessings throughout the New Year! Live Laugh Download Stitch!

That is a lot of losses in one year. This is just one of the reasons that I cherish my belief in God. I have the knowledge that my loved ones are in heaven and that I will be with them some day. It makes living my life here so much easier. I do hope you find joy and laughter and love this most wonderful season.

That's a lot of losses. I 'only' lost my father this year. I hope you'll have a blessed Christmas that brings you peace.

Yes it is a lot of losses. My sisters were identical twins and I prayed like I never prayed before. All their lives when one thing happened to one it happened to other...even in death they stayed together. I thought if 6 months went by it would be alright but it was 5 l/2 months and the other passed. I will miss them and the others so much.

I lost the other sister 5 1/2 months later.

I want to say Thank you to all...It is so hard right now and I guess I just wanted to tell someone how sad I am right now at Christmas.

Know that we are all on your side and we will think of you and pray. Please get some professional help, depression sneaks up on you and you have had too much grief for too short a time.

Amen, bonnetgirl! We've had 3 deaths in our family this year and one of them was my sister in law that fought the good fight with MS for nearly 14 years.
Take care of yourself.
Merry Christmas.
