hiya gaynor, massive (((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))) for you and yours. god bless you love x

Thankyou so much for all your kind words... my heart is close to tears most of the time at the moment although I really am trying to make a go of it and not be maudlin in front of the family. I don't want to spoil Christmas for them. I know Mum is always close by but you all know it's not quite the same as before. However, one thing I will do after reading your replies is that I will light a candle by her photo on Christmas morning. I really need her to know just how much she is loved and missed. ((((((((((((((( Love and hugs ))))))))))))))) to all of you here (you know who you are) who are grieving too. Sorry if I'm being a bit miserable lately but Thankyou so much for taking the time to provide words of comfort. Love Gaynor xxx

I know exactly how you feel, Gaynor. Remember, everytime you think of her she is with you. (((((((Hugs))))))). Susan xx

Gaynor and every one else who is missing their special some one, may it be the 1st Christmas or many Christmas's with out them, I send you (((((loving hugs))))). Bev

Gaynor your Mum was a very special lady and a lot on here will remember her with much love.. They say we live on in our children and so your Mum lives on in you. God Bless You and your special Lady this Christmastide June xxx.

Hugs for you Gaynor. and R.I.P June.. She is only a whisper away. Love Sunny R

Every time I've seen this thread I've wanted to add to it, but not known what to put! But Gaynor, take comfort in the fact that your lovely Mum was very much loved on here, even by people like me who hadn't even met her, as she had a heart of gold. Even now, when I think back to that day when we were told on here that Mum had passed over, it was a shock to me then and I guess it still hasn't fully sunk in now. So God only knows how it must have been for you. As the others have said, your Mum wouldn't want you to be sad, especially at this time of year. The idea of lighting a candle for her is lovely, I think. God bless you Gaynor, and hope you feel more positive soon hun. x

A big hug to you Gaynor,Hope we can meet one day as we are near to each other, My parents are my best friends and I am grateful every day for them, Hug for your dear Mum in heaven, caz xxxx

Gaynor-it's not going to be easy this year,but remember she dosn't want you to be miserable,light a candle for her and enjoy your day xx Me in Cyprus giving advice I wish I could follow !

(((((((hugs)))))))

Gaynor, I think your mum would not be letting Christmas go by without thinking of you too, she was a very caring lady. There will be a few on here that will be remembering her and you God Bless Janetx

Special thoughts with you Gaynor-It's not going to be an easy time -but if all the family stay together and try to lift your spirits it will make it a bit more bearable. hugs to you. catherine xx

Thinking of you and your family Gaynor as it is bound to be difficult at this time of year. XX

Know exactly how you feel Gaynor having lost my Dad in October. He just keeps popping in my head and I'm feeling rather low too. All I can say is to try to remember that life doesn't stop for those left behind. Although it may be painful, try to remember them at this time laughing and enjoying themselves. They would not wish us to stand around with long faces or to stop enjoying the normal things that make up life. John Lennon had a classic line, Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans....this is the part of life that just 'happens' to you...don't put your 'other plans' on hold...she will always be with you, so honour your Mum by living a full life, as best you can...and cherish the memories you have of her....I do hope you raise a glass to June Christmas day and have a smile on your face as you remember the best of times past... Love and ((hugs))... Nanna-Moo xxx

Special thoughts for you and your family, Gaynor. Our first Christmas without our Mums won't be easy, but I'm hoping to be able to smile and remember all those wonderful Christmas' past. Thinking of you. Gwyn

This year I'll have a photo of my FIL and nan with a candle by each, I'll light them first thing in the morning and make sure there is a lit candle there all day. I'm sure they'll be watching over us and looking down with a smile on their face as I'm sure June will also be watching over you and all your family. I know it won't be easy but please try to remember the happy times and when you think of her let it be with a smile on your face, I'm sure that is how they want to be remembered. ((((HUGS)))) Fiona. x

I think all of us that have lost someone feel a bit low around Christmas, I know I do. However, it was obvious how important 'special days' were to your mum, so hopefully you'll manage to enjoy Christmas - am sure its what she would want ? Paul x

I echo everyone's sentiments on here Gaynor. Your mother was a lovely lady and will be with you always. I'm feeling as you are at the moment, let's remember the good times and be glad we had them. Our loved ones live on through us. Love to you and your family Mau (((xxx)))

Gaynor She will be right there with you. She's in your heart and there isn't a better place than that. Best wishes Pat
