The First Holiday
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it, is like wrapping a present and not giving it ~ William Arthur Ward
I have heard it say that the first holiday without your loved one is always the toughest. I dedicate this post to everyone who, like me, is experiencing ‘The First Holiday’ without the one they love.
I am grateful to all our family and friends for helping me heal…Never pass up an opportunity to love!
Happy Thanks-Caregiving

There are so many “firsts” after the death of a loved one. Just when you think you’ve reached and passed all of them, another meaningful occasion appears before you. The “firsts” are more difficult than the “seconds”. You’ll make it; I know you will.
Hi Chris, Have been thinking about you but since I didn’t call there is no way you would know that.My children were here and two almost relatives. we were 9 and everything went well.Speak with you soon. love from Harriet and Ed
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. There is another ‘first’ just around the corner, recognizing them and just dealing with it, is half the battle!
You will be the victor in this battle.
