I wonder if anyone from 'the outside' could believe what kind of a group this is.

It seems quite unimaginable to me, and I'm part of it.

You have been so supportive and helpful. I've really been touched by your demonstration of concern. Thank you all.

It's going to be a very silent Christmas. Kitty is still hanging in, and I have rented a bunch of movies, bringing in some firewood, a tiny little split of champagne in the fridge to celebrate something...and there we go.

My husband is being cremated today. I was trying to hold on to see if there were other reactions to the vaccine. I think there are but it's just not going to matter when someone had pre-existing conditions, even at only 63. So no more to report on that front.

We have the tiniest bit of snow here, well, just a dusting really. Not what I'd call a white Christmas, but for me, that means no shovelling. Just fine.

I sure wish the best for everyone's merry Christmas. You're a swell bunch of guys.

 
Marg, xoxox

Might I suggest a journal? Sometimes purging yourself on paper is a great way to heal.

Got you on my mind...

Love & hugs,
T

 
(((((Marg))))) Comfort and peace to you in the New Year.

Hey sometimes I don't believe "us", eggs and GBH, chocolate addictions, people who welcome "stalkers" into their lives, Gee Whiz, us are good peoples!

And we can share a bottle of bubbly 700 miles apart, cause we are on the same page??

Peace my friends,
Nan

 
Marg, you are a very special person and one of the reasons this site is so

special. (((hug)))

I've been thinking of you, and even though we live an ocean apart, you are my friend and I care about you.

Love, Eva.

 
What a bittersweet day for you, M. My Christmas wish for you is to look up

one morning in the coming spring and notice that the sky is the most beautiful shade of blue. And that your pain that day becomes slightly more bearable.

 
Marg and AngAk - you are so right this is a wonderful group

of people; who will be thinking of you both this holiday season.

Ah, Marg. My heart aches for you.

I hope the coming year brings you peace and blessings (even though you may not be feeling that now). You're in my thoughts.

 
Marg, I wish you peace in the coming months. Ed's sister is spending Christmas with us.

Her husband died earlier this year so the holiday has been rough for her. She doesn't travel, but her friends insisted she make this trip.

She was able to get out of Bradly Airport in Hartford, CT an hour before it was closed. We've kept her very busy and will start with a glass of Kir Royal this morning.

One day at a time.

 
Marg, I'm glad you feel touched by the support and wonderful outpouring of love from this group.

My thoughts and prayers are with you today as well.

I count each day, holiday or not, as special more and more now than ever before. I had a talk with my boys about cherishing the time with our family this holiday. Their grandfather has had health problems recently, and he is our patriarch. He hosts our time in San Diego, and he's a wonderful cook. A great example of a strong, loving man who has raised a terrific family. He should live a long and active life, but the recent events have given us all a clearer perspective on how precious our time is on this earth.

My heart goes out to you Marg, and I am also blessed by this wonderful group. This community has continued to amaze me since 1996.

Truly, it will get better...never the same, but time will heal. Celebrate the time you had together.

 
Yes, this is the kind of group where we can share our joys and sorrows. Marg, you have had an

overload of loss to deal with, but there are so many others who's Christmas is not so good this year, and we need each other's shoulders to lean on and each other to give us a hug. DH and I are sharing Christmas with his sister's family, a day's travel from us, as we watch her slowly expire from a terrible, agressive cancer. She has only a few more days to live, and it is heart-wrenching to watch her fight to speak to us and to survive. The strength of the human spirit is remarkable. Please know that you have many caring friends here who share your experience, your grief, and who hope for relief from this burden.

With very sincerest thoughts,

Marianne in Alabama
