This is the second Christmas without my beloved husband of 35 years, Bob, who passed away from suicide last year in August. Every day has been an emotional struggle for me, and I pray to him and God to give me peace of heart, mind, and soul and to take away my pain and grief. We have 2 wonderful children and 3 beautiful grandchildren and as much as I find joy in their presence, once they leave and I find myself alone the grief takes over, the tears just flow at my loss and my heartache begins all over again. This is the beautiful season of Christmas and wonderful memories for me, but looking around the house, with the Christmas decorations and the tree, listening to the wonderful Christmas songs, my grief is compounded as I celebrate this beautiful time of year alone, in my home, where my husband took his life, and try with all my will to force myself to be happy, to no avail. The loneliness is unbearable and everywhere I look I see my Bob. Please pray for me to get the strength to overcome my grief and sadness and begin to enjoy life again as Bob would want me to. Thank you and may you all have a truly Blessed Christmas....
