Grieving the holidays

This holiday season is also a time for our family to commemorate and remember our dear beloved Ima (grandmother), who passed away a year ago, December 25, 2010.

This time is very challenging and difficult for us especially this is the first time we are celebating the holidays without her. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we are also greiving the holiday without Ima.

Wherever you are, we remember you and you will always be in our hearts. We miss & love you! Merry Christmas, Ima!

Hours before the Noche Buena and Mass vigil, we still managed to do our last minute Christmas shopping and took sometime to pose infront of the camera to have a family picture. This served as Christmas post cards that were given to our relatives.

A very Merry Christmas from our family to yours. May you have a wonderdul season and may 2012 bring you peace and joy.

  3. i feel you... a good of friend of mine passed away last december 21. so right now, i'm really quite confused on what i should blog about -- should it be about happy times since it's the christmas season, or should it be about sad times as we're grieving because of our friend's demise. it's really hard. still, at the end of the day, i'm pretty sure that our loved ones doesn't want us to be lonely during the Christmas holidays. i bet they still want us to be happy. hugs to you, sis!

  4. Merry Christmas sis! :)

    It's really depressing when you lose a loved one during the holidays. :( But the comforting thought is, she no longer has to suffer physical pain. She's in a better place now.

    The healing might not start quickly, but the Lord will certainly provide comfort and strength to you and your family. :)
