December's Deep Grief

Loss Amidst the Merrymaking


Again at Christmas did we weave
The holly round the Christmas hearth;
The silent snow possessed the earth,
And calmly fell our Christmas Eve.

The Yule log sparkled keen with frost,
No wing of wind the region swept,
But over all things brooding slept
The quiet sense of something lost.


Alfred Tennyson

Memories of birthdays, anniversaries, summer vacations and personal milestones are always there to make grief fresh again. Any "first time around" occasion without our loved one sharpens our awareness of the loss. Visit The First time Around for thoughts on other holidays and significant days on the calendar.

Because the shadow that hovers over special events can last a lifetime, I am leaving the holiday section on the site year round for all the seasons of your grief. Please visit any time.

How complicated and individual mending is, the time required for healing
cannot be measured against any fixed calendar
