Hi ana
This sounds just like me when my second boyfriend who I've been with for 5yrs lived with 4yrs engaged we have a 2yr old son and he just left....I have alot of hate and anger inside but I'm trying to heal myself with prays in that time I needed to talk alot and express my pain and anger. Pls continue to talk with him he is to young and beautiful to feel this stenght of rejection he needs to pray because he can get himself very sick I'm speaking from experience, everything happen for a reason and God is with U.

I'm so sorry you are going through all this, especially around the
holidays. I too have a son 24 and it is a hard age because as we know they are
adults, but to us they are kids! and we want to make everything alright for
them, and take their pain away. Unfortunately we can't take their pain away,
all we can do is be there for them when they need an ear or even a shoulder.
One good thing about this is he is crying, at least he is letting some of
the pain out. Breaking up with someone you love can feel like your whole
world has crashed in on you and it feels like the pain will never go away.
You need to tell your son that it will get better and that time does heal.
You sound like a good mom and I'm sure he knows this and that in itself will
be helpful.
Take God bless, Eliza

Feeling ya, Husband died end of August I have a 5 year old and 7 year old both girls who will not see his face this christmas morning.My husband was the only family I had here (british) my kids have only me to buy presents for them. Thank god I have a job $12 hr, lol Don't let the depression catch hold, get busy! check out thrift stores, food banks, sales, community aid, Its surprising how much help is out there, kids don't care if the toys are brand new! toys into the house are new toys for them. We used to take the kids to the dollar store each year and give them $5 to buy presents for their siblings and us, they love it and even though it will hurt so bad I will keep that tradition going. Head up, fight back!

Have you heard of freecycle.org? It's a yahoo group that you join in your
area and then people can post used items that they think someone else might
want or need so it doesn't go to the dump. It's FREE! People can also post
WANTED adds if there is something that they are looking for. You might try
posting a wanted add for some children's toys or something else that your
child may need. It's an awesome group. I've gotten so many useful and
wonderful things that I couldn't afford otherwise. Also I have been able to
give several things that someone else really needed to use. Amazing what
you can find when you just start trying to clean things out. Your trash may
be someone else's treasure. Check on yahoo to see if there is one in your
area. Hope you are able to have a good Christmas!
Diann

Karen,
You and your little one are in my prayers. I agree that the best gift you can give him is your time.
When times were difficult for me and my little guy (now 13) he most enjoyed helping me make cookies, frosting the sugar cookies and such and loved watching me make fudge. We'd watch christmas specials on TV or DVD, string popcorn for the tree. The more you let him help with decorations and also share with him the true meaning of Christmas the more likely you will see his childlike desire to help others and I'm sure that would help get you feeling better too. If I thought I was near you I'd sure want to give you a big hug... consider yourself hugged! I live near Austin Texas... God bless you!
Niki

*I can empathize with you because I am usually very depressed at Christmas
time, although I can't really pinpoint why. I try to keep a (fake) smile on
and the kids are so delighted with our minimal holiday decorations and
presents that they don't even notice. They get excited despite my feelings,
and their excitement cheers me up! I try to give them little things they
love, markers and drawing books, silly putty, slinkies, huge lollipops, Pez
candy and so forth. Because they are not used to big presents, they are
happy with what they get. Raising them this way has enabled them to see
more of the true spirit of Christmas. (We have a great kid's Nativity Set
which they play with.) We try to go to church where the candles are lit and
the music is beautiful. My oldest is now 26 and he still loves Christmas
and remembers all of the little things he gets. (Yes, he still does play
with his slinky and his silly putty.)*
*I would suggest you use this Christmas to build your own Christmas
traditions. They don't have to cost much, and your young child will
remember them from year to year. Let his/her joy on Christmas raise your
spirits. Presents are not important...family is!*

My aunt was telling me about what they do for my uncle who passed away a few years ago. when they visit his grave, everyone takes a helium balloon, and writes a little message to him on it with a sharpie. when everyone is ready, they release them into the sky.
She claims it is a very healing activity, and I can understand why.

My sons think riding on the train or bus is exciting... Don't underestimate the little things. Break tradition and do something to server others

my favorite christmas movie of all time is "White Christmas" and my favorite christmas songs are the carols - but I do love Christmas Canon by Trans-Siberian Orchestra - and I love the song "Mary, Did you know". Merry Blessed CHRISTmas to every one.

I have a new favorite Christmas song. I actually just heard it tonight. It's called "Camouflage & Christmas Lights" By Rodney Carrington. It's a song for all of our troops! As an Army wife I have to say I really love it!!!
I also love the song, "Christmas Shoes"

..find out what you can do with what you already have. You might have all the ingredients for homemade playdough or finger paint. you could make christmas ornaments or decorated cookies.Throw in some tinfoil, glue and colored construction paper and the possibilities and endless. Just do whatever you do TOGETHER, and build a memory! :)
