‘One has to learn to live with grief as best one can’

has arrived once more. A wonderful and happy joyful time of the year. As indeed it should be. May I just write a few thoughts about my Christmas?

Christmas with grief. I feel quite lost. People are so good. I feel angry at times. My lovely wife loved Christmas. The beautiful Christmas tree is missing. I have the crib up. My heart is broken to bits. It doesn’t get any better with time. I sound like a broken record but that is the way it is. What helps? People. Community. The lovely people in our drama group and our church choir. My friends at work. I read and purchase more books than I can keep up with. Will it ever ease? No. One has to learn to live with grief as best one can.

I’m writing down the truth in the hope it may help myself and others. Happy Christmas to all. – Yours, etc,‘American men are a lot more self-centred. In Ireland they’re a lot easier to talk to.
