If ever there were a season that holds the emotions too near it is the season of holly jolly the season of Christmas cheer
Yet I am one among many for whom the season is confettied with tears the pain and the strife of everyday life has left many deep wounds through the year...
Yet we all have so much in common we share pain, we share hope, and despair We are in fact, "goin' through the motions" It is just hidden in "Happy New Year"....
Thank you for sharing your feelings in a poem so many of us can relate to. It has been a really rough holiday season for me as it is the first one since my DH was dx. I tried so hard to make it a happy and memorable Christmas Eve but it can' t be. AD has taken away my holly jolly season and replaced it with one that is confettied with my tears!!
Many tears shed here as our journey ended in October so this is my "first" without dh. I wouldn't wish him back in his dementia prison but oh how I long for those happier holidays past. Never will be and I know I'll become more accustomed to being alone but this year it has been bad. Your poem so said it all. Thanks.
