Hi Gail

I'm so sorry you're husbands parents aren't more understanding about what you've been through and what you are going through now.

Those suffering from depression often find the holidays hard to get through. In your case, you also went through a major loss near the holidays making it that much worse. I lost my husband on December 22, though it was many years ago. It gets easier with time, but even after all these years I still have a sadness. I find myself thinking about happier times - as you said, the carols, the meals, the get togethers that used to be.

I can really sympathise and hope that you can manage to find a little happiness this year.

Warm hugs Gail
