I'm so sorry. I can understand how you feel. I lost my mother in February. No parents left....It is hard, but I think they want us to go on and enjoy ourselves, like they did during the holidays. If you are religious, then you can tell them they are now with the Lord, celebrating and they miss us, too or something like that. I look back over the Christmas pictures from last year when my mom was still alive and see her smiling. I think she is smiling now.....
