Hate this time of the year

[Pebble mouse]

I hate the Christmas and new year period.

Mum passed away on the 22nd of December when I was 15.

It was a total shock to me and I still have not recovered from it, 30-odd years later.

I just want this year to be over.

I'm sorry this is such a terrible time of year for you. Statistically, it's a horrible time of year for a huge proportion of people for these kinds of reasons, along with many other reasons (mental health, SAD, financial issues etc). I hate the way the corporate machine pumps out the idea of eating, drinking and being merry with an intact family/group when the reality for many is so far from the truth. I hope it passes quickly for you.

Thank-you @AvidFan.

My condolecnces for the loss of your mother Pebble mouse.
Many hugs to you (if you like them).

I cannot imagine how devastating it was and is for you losing your mother at such a crucial age of 15. I haven't recovered from losses, though I was grown when they died. I also have a lot of trouble at the holidays time.

I am glad you're here @Pebble mouse .

This time of year is hard for so many people. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Losing mother is something one never gets fully over I think.

I am about to go to sleep. Today will be a hard day, but the support I have here really helps.
