3 more days until Christmas.. I always feel at my lowest around Christmas season and my birthday. There is so much pressure around it to not be lonely and be happy and cheerful that it gives me the opposite feeling This year isn't any different How about you, how do the holidays make you feel?

I normally love the Christmas season, and I am really enjoying it this year. However, during the years my mom had dementia, I just wanted them to be over with. I kept remembering everything I had lost with her being so young, yet slipping away.

I'm sorry about your mom. The first holiday without a loved one is really hard.

I try to look happy for my husband, but Christmas is no more a happy day for me.
