TIMES OF CELEBRATION ?
The holidays are times of celebration,
happiness and family - being with those we love.
OR
The holidays are times that we endure rather
than enjoy. We are in the midst of celebrations, but feel apart and sad.
Perhaps it is not possible for us to be with our family or friends. Those
dearest to us have died, or they have moved away. And so we are alone, or we
experience isolation although we are present at holiday festivities.
DOES ANYONE CARE FOR ME?
Is your experience similar to what is
described above?
I'm writing to you because I too have known
this sorrow. I cannot know your individual experience, but have known dejected
and surreal hours that can intensify at this time of the year.
I'm not a
