I can imagine your pain. I think it’s beautiful you could visit his grave to give expression to your grief. Probably the sadness about his loss will always be there

I don’t think you will ever get over something like that. Even if you do have other kids. My nanny died 10 years ago and I miss her every Christmas. I know its not the same, but the grief that someone we love isn’t with us when we are celebrating will always have a place in your heart.

My dad and my mother in law, who both passed away. But I also missed my son, daughter, grandson and mum as I didn’t get to see any of them last Christmas

For those no longer with us, I’ll be missing my dad and my mother in law. For those still alive who I also will be missing, my mum, my son and grandson.

I miss my grandfater so much during times like these. I would do anything to have him back. I also miss my papa because although he is here still physically with us, he has dementia, so he really isnt here anymore

The first year following my Mum’s death has to be the saddest Christmas ever for me. As the years come and go the pain lessens a little bit hit home every Christmas and all special family events including birthdays, wedding anniversaries etc.

I miss friends and relatives who have passed. They are always in my heart though.

We miss my Dad every Christmas. He passed away suddenly when my little one was barely 6 weeks old, and so never got to enjoy a Christmas with her. He would have been such a doting Poppy.

I lost my FIL on Christmas Eve and my darling Dad on 4th January – so Christmas and New Year is always a bitter sweet time for me …. these special times never feel the same again once you have lost loved ones around this time, but I try to use these occasions to celebrate their lives, send prayers to them and hope (know) that they are looking down on me with love xx

Bless all who feel the pain !

My grandma. She passed away this year and Christmas dinner was always at her place. Plus my mum always had her around for Christmas lunch

My mum passed away when I was 15 I am in my sixties now and Christmas time is when I miss her the most. I miss watching her make the fruitcake for Christmas and decorate the house- it is the little things.

That is the only part of Christmas that is a real problem, so many people seem to miss loved ones the most this time of year. And also those who do not have any family to share with.

I will miss my nan and my cat this Christmas

My Mum its been 4 years now since she passed away and Christmas is just not the same without her as she always went to so much trouble making everything was perfect

I miss my sister the most, she’s always on my mind especially on special days.

Each Christmas for the last 36 years I wonder what my oldest daughter would be doing know and what would she be doing. For my brother I last saw him 36 years ago on Christmas day and it has been 35 years since he left this world. These two are the ones I miss the most at Christmas. I went on to have more children which included two daughters, these do not replace the one hour I had with Sarah, she is always in my mind. As for my brother he was my only brother and so can not be replaced.

Aw bless ! I think it’s normal you miss your little boy especially around Christmas and Birthdays we feel the pain a bit more.

Hugs to you at this difficult time. It’s not easy when you have lost someone so close to your heart, but take joy in the spirit of Christmas with your other children.
