I miss you dearly, and I try to remind myself that you live on in a thousand Christmas memories and the magic of the season. Christmas Memorial Heart Plaque is a wonderful addition to the Christmas celebrations, to remember those we love, that are no longer with us.

I feel like I have to explain and justify myself to others who think I should just be lumping it and getting on with it, that I am ‘still’ in so much pain. I’ve just done xmas with the in laws who are thankfully going away (and are very disappointed that I’m not up for the big family jolly holiday so their grandchildren aren’t coming).These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. From things like DDs first day at school, to her first nativity and big things like me getting married. As you process your grief and honor your loved one who's no longer with you during the holidays, sometimes comforting words and quotes can speak to your feelings. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.

I feel like my children will never miss my mum being there as they are only 3 and 1 so it will have never been the norm for her to be there.Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. No wonder you miss your mum she sounds great and it is sad she will miss out on seeing your dd grow up.

I've recently been thinking a lot about Christmases when I was young, and how full of family time they were, and I miss those days. She has been been reported missing alongside her three children Errol, age four, and James, and Mary, both one. We can prep and cook but there will only be 8 of us and Mum is already saying if it’s noisy she’ll just go to her bedroom. Although this is my first Christmas without her I feel only my Dad and Sister are sensitive to that.Any kind of disruption to family gatherings, even a new home or change in menu, can be met with scepticism. I think it’s just worse that I feel like I’m having to explain myself to people, that I’m not actually in the mood for Christmas parties and I don’t want to be a big hostess for my dad and stepmum or the in laws on xmas day, none of them say anything to me anymore or ask how I am/ how I’m coping.
