I am depressed over the thought of Christmas. December was the last month my mom was alive. She passed away Jan.3/99. I was invited to a Christmas dinner but I am no longer dealing with my friend...so no Christmas dinner for me. I feel so alone and isolated. Why can't it just be Summer!

zen, sorry that you feel so lonely and sad. the holidays will not last forever so perhaps just try to make each day like any other day. i lost both of my parents as a young adult. i can relate to how you feel this xmas. what i discovered was that when each holiday that rolled around the feelings of sadness became less intense. it's not like we don't still miss our loved one it's just that the healing eventually helps us on our way. this thanksgiving we put our mom's photo at the thanksgiving table. in a way it was honoring her. she died in nov.1985 but we still miss her. she had always loved cooking and doing for us at holidays.hugs to you
 . ...and summer is already on it's way...

I am so sorry sweetheart. Holidays can be difficult at the best of times, never mind when there's something emotional attached.
I wish I knew what to say. I'm here if you need to talk  Molly

Zen, the Christmas season can be especially depressing. I understand where you are coming from. You are not alone
 . This time of year is depressing for me also. I am struggling with issues that are bearing down on me. I just try to deal with my problems on a day-by-day basis and pray to God for strength. Love you and wish you the best.brephi

I am sorry about your mom...maybe try to surround yourself with the wonderful memories you have of her, instead of focusing on your sadness...I wish you the best.
