You have the right to feel however you do, Jane. I find this time of year very stressful. Be kind to yourself, get yourself feeling better, and lower your expectations for the holidays. There will always be more.
You have a beautiful family Jane. I know it’s easier said than done but try not let the holidays give you the blues. Think of me, I will have 9 people in my small apartment on Christmas Eve and don’t even have the tree decorated yet. I put it up yesterday and the lights are on but I do all the cooking and baking, have four cookies done, five more batches to make and bake and haven’t wrapped one present. Oh yeah, last minute but I won’t rush. You’re a sweet and sensitive lady and holidays are tough when we miss family. Let’s remember all the good times with our families and friends who are with us in spirit now. Wishing you and your family a magical Christmas!
I’m so sorry you had some unkind and unfair comments, Jane. Don’t lose faith. Your heart is big and intentions are good. I hope you can take some time to call up some good memories of those you miss, and also to recharge yourself, because we need you.
Jane, I understand where you are at. I’m pretty much there too. Right down to the pets 😢It’s been all bluesy since before Thanksgiving. This season has been really hard. Missing a lot right now. Keeps my therapists (yes, more than one right now) busy. Look at your pics. You have a lot to be thankful for and can appreciate. Deegs and the kids are your lifeline. You may have lost, but still have an awful lot of life to live and those to share it with.
Maybe some time we can just chat. You’re not alone. CJ said it right, I’m here for you too. If you ever feel like just talking, drop me a DM and we can work on the logistics.
Jane, keep in mind too how hard this year has been. It makes sense that you're dealing with some holiday blues. I don't know if you ever got answers for your health questions, but going through the stress of all of that is upsetting and disruptive and exhausting. Take your time through the holidays for whatever you need. Your subscibers are here for you 💕.
Winter blues can be brutal. Take a moment to ponder fitting this into your budget. When we did this our lives changed. Until then, for the first time ever I heard about Blue Christmas services at churches everywhere. They are today, Dec 21st, in the evening with service good and fellowship. There is likely one in your area. Many people don’t feel joyful around the holidays. Be you!
Well Jane, for someone who didn't know what to write about, you wrote something that touched me deeply. I'm sorry for the loss that's causing your grief. I'm here for you if you want a friend.
The Holidays bring out a myriad of emotions. Allow yourself to feel sad anxious and cry. You are a fine writer. Take a breather. You might discover fresh ideas. Jenn
Sorry you're feeling blue, Jane. It sounds cheesy but your photo always makes me smile -- your face radiates goodness. 😃 Totally get needing a break -- and running out of ideas! Take the time that you need to rest & regenerate. 🎄
You owe us nothing. You owe yourself everything. Perhaps a break through the holidays will help. Your readers will be here when you are ready.
Thanks so much, Nick.
Happy Holdays, Jane.:)
Thanks so much, Heidi! Happy holidays to you and your family!

Thanks so much, Jo-Ann.
Christmas happens anyway ready or not. I don't think we are ever ready.
Right now I want everyone to be healthy. That is something you can't put a price tag on.
It sounds like you are going to have a nice time with family. I hope you have a wonderful time
Thanks again for your kind worlds.
You’re welcome

It's all good. Sometimes I need to take a look at myself too.
I appreciate your kind words. I truly do!

I'm thankful and yet I grieve at the sametime. It's human and I appreciate your kind world.
I'm so sorry you are struggling now with holiday grief as well.

Wishing your family a happy and healthy holiday.
Oh Jane I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. Grief is never easy, especially around the holidays. Sending lots of love your way ❤️🩹
Thanks so much, Darcy. All we can do is keep their memories close. Some years are more difficult than others
