Finding this time of year hard

I know this time of year is supposed to be full of Christmas cheer, and in a lot of ways i am, however am finding it particularly difficult this year as feel this is the first I have come to the realisation that we will not have children to celebrate Christmas with. I have just spent the weekend with my brother and his 3 children and think this has brought feelings up again.

Does anyone feel the same and if so how do you deal with it?

I have never personally lost a child, so I won't say I understand how you feel. However, I can empathize and feel your pain in your words. Since your brother's kids heped maybe volunteering with children would help?

Hi Anon

Yes, it will be hard, you're not alone in feeling that way but it really doesn't make it easier

Best to do what you feel is right for you and if that means a few days away from others that's just fine

Take care and be kind to yourself

Hi, I have just joined this forum. My only child was stillborn 18 years ago. We were never able to have another child and it's very very hard. Most of the time you get by tho but I must admit I'm struggling at the moment. Sorry, this isn't very positive and so on. I just noticed your username and assume you live in Wiltshire - as I do...If you want to chat please let me know xx
