Hi I am new to this. This is my first Christmas without my daughter. She would’ve been born in November and I was so excited and looking forward to having her here. Does anyone know how to get through the holidays? Or are you like me and just want it all to be over with. I feel so alone, angry, hurt and upset. I just want her to be with me and I want to enjoy the holidays with other family but I don’t think I can. No one knows what happened either besides the dad so it’s hard to grieve in silent. Does anyone have advice for the holiday season, and how to honor your child or do something for them even if they sadly aren’t here?

Hi Hopes mom, I have no advice for you, as this is also my first Christmas without my daughter (she was due in October). Christmas was my favorite day of the year and I was so looking forward to being a mum and making it as magical as possible for a 3 month old 😂. It’s too painful for me now, so I’m just ignoring it completely. I’m not seeing any family and I’m not doing presents. I haven’t decorated the house or put up a tree. As far as I’m concerned it doesn’t exist for me this year.
