Dealing with grief at Christmas

 With Christmas fast approaching I think of the empty chair. The chair that holds the memories of the loved one that once  sat there. Christmas is a time for families many families struggle at this time of year. Many remember fond memories of Christmas times from the past. The laugher and the moments that were made special at this time of year! Many remember fond memories of Christmas times from the past. The laugher and the moments that were made special at this time of year! To all that have lost so many in their families our loved one's still sit on the empty chair. They sit in the chair though we cannot see their  smiling faces that we can no longer see. Instead a light in everyone's  heart they put deep inside us all to remember the love they hold inside. Along with the many Christmas memories they shared with us in the past. So hang an ornament on the tree for the loved one that you have lost. I like to believe they are part of the Heaven's choir at this time of year. This year celebrate the love you once shared with this person that once sat on the now empty chair.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
