    The Christmas period can be especially hard for those living with a terminal illness, caring for someone, or those who are bereaved, whether recently or a while ago. It can feel very lonely and isolating, and yet there are so many who have this experience at the moment (including myself). I would therefore like to open this thread as an invitation for sharing thoughts and memories.


    Whether you would like to talk about a meaningful memento (say, a Christmas ornament), a memory, tell us how you are marking the season this year, or simply share how you are feeling, it may help others to realise that they are not alone this season.

    With all best wishes,

    Thank you so much for this Anke. I agree Christmas can be really hard when you are in these situations.

    In recent years I have found it easier to start new traditions with my own children whilst also keeping traditions of my Mum's alive even if it is a small thing like hanging tinsel round all the picture frames.

    We always do a special toast on Christmas Day to those loved ones who are no longer with us and I put time aside to visit my parents grave with some Christmas flowers.

    Thinking of everyone who is struggling this Christmas.
