Sorry its taken a while to reply to your heartwarming messages, i have found that everyone is so kind and always as a nice word to say on here. Thankyou all so much, With love Helen xx

Helen sorry about you loss but as you said feel for ones still near us we should be happy and also talk about our lost loved ones these are just all words that at the moment do not really mean anything but will with time definately think of your loved ones and hope they see you enjoying yourself and that your pain eases Gillian xx

Helen, I do hope you enjoy your Christmas whatever you are doing. Your Aunt would not want you to be unhappy. Jo.

Helen. Sorry to hear you have had a terrible year. Hope you have a nice christmas. I won't say happy as things are still very raw for you. but people on here will try and make you laugh. Love Pat xx

Helen, sorry only just managed to get back to page 4 where this is. Sorry to hear about your Aunt's death. always more poignant near to christmas. i am sure both she and your Mum will be watching over your christmas celebrations to make sure you enjoy them. We usually have a toast to my dad at about 5.30 on Christmas day. (he died at that time on Christmas day 2001). Ann Glos

I am spending christmas with my family and we will all have a quiet time to remember our loved ones no longer with us but i think my mum would have liked us to enjoy ourselves she was a party lover and lved to sing and dance in her younger days. You are a lovely person Bev, thankyou And to Sue Enjoy having your son home, i couldnt imagine christmas without mine!!! Love Helen xx

We'll be celebrating Christmas on Boxing Day as two of my daughters will be working. On Boxing Day morning we'll come downstairs and open the presents amid lots of laughter (not too much though as my youngest will be having a baby which is due the next week - not sure if I could cope with delivering a baby). Having chicken instead of turkey as they all like chicken. Dog will be taken out a for a few walks. Generally sit around and eat and drink and chat - hopefully watch a decent film on TV in between.

Thanks Helen you too! I know how hard it will be for you this year! Last christmas was the first one without my dad and we didnt know how we were going to get through the day. But you do, with a lot of tears and alot of smiles and remembering that person with love! God bless you Helen

Thats what christmas is all about Bev Eat drink and be merry, as long as your with your loved ones Hope you have a really good one Love Helen xx

Apart from getting drunk and eating too much I havent really got much else planned!! We are all congregating at my mums for the day so it should be quite a noisy affair! Before that though I better go and get some pressies. I havent bought so much as a card yet! Every year I promise that I will be more organised and every year I leave it to the last minute

Thanks Diana Lets have some christmas cheer!!!!! cheer this place up a bit

my condolences sweetie, funerals are never nice at any time of year.... I've been lucky and only been to 2 this year. I hope the pain eases soon!!

My very much loved aunt died last week eight months after her sister, my mum, i am very sad and i really want to get into the christmas spirit. So how about it, What are you all doing this christmas, how are you all celebrating!!!!!!
