I know this is a personal question so thank you in advance if you can answer.
This Christmas will be “ different” for both of us. On my side, my dad died this summer. We all know he obviously won’t be at Christmas. We all had specific places to sit when we opened presents and to eat. So if you have had a first Christmas after losing a parent, did it feel “ weird” ?? Any suggestions?
On my DH side, we didn’t know it at the time, but last Christmas was the last family Christmas we would have like we always had every year. A medical issue will make that impossible for one of his parents so we’re going to have to make new plans - don’t know what yet that will entail.
So this year, I’m not sure how either Christmas will be.
