I have never felt loss like you have, and therefore am in no place to comment. So I have nothing to say other than that this was a beautiful post, which brought out tears for your pain, but also for the joy that you must bring your children.

Christmas is so difficult when you've lost a loved one, and what people who haven't lost someone can't understand is that the pain of that loss never goes away, it just gets slightly easier to bear. I lost my dad 21 years ago and I miss him as though it was yesterday. Both my sister and I wish he had been around to meet our children and the grief is sometimes overwhelming. It is great that you've written this post – a psychic friend of mine (a professional psychic, that sounds really weird!) once told me that you need to keep having conversations with the people you've lost (in your head, or written down) and I think it probably does help. Big hugs xxx

This must have been incredibly difficult to write. 29 is so young, and you must feel so sad to have had so much stolen from you. Hopefully writing this post will help you reminder things you've forgotten, some of the happier Christmases and other events. And, as you say, hold those children tight.

Oh Ellie-
What a lovely post. Your mother would of course, be proud of you. You're a brilliant woman, wife and mother. Thank you for sharing your memories. Wishing you love and strength this Christmas. Your post is a very fitting tribute to your mother.

Such a beautiful post. My grandmother who bought me up died on Boxing Day 28 years ago. Like you say the only Christmas I can remember now from my childhood is that one. I'm so sorry for your loss and much love to you all xx

I am sat in tears, which isnt right as this is your pain not mine. But thank you for sharing. Mothers are so precious. You will do things right for your children because you are a mother.

The pain may never dull, but you need to start breathing again. Take a deep breath, hold those children tight and slowly let it all out
