Thank you for sharing and highlighting. I hope that your grief journey has been as complete as it can be so far. I lost my brother, Richard Day, well I say lost, he was taken from us in Feb 2020 following a cowardly attack as he walked home. This is the third Christmas in his absence, and to compound matters it is his birthday on Boxing Day too. Each year is a 48 hour double whammy of emotions. It’s hard, because grief is a very internal process and at times existence. Society moves on quicker than grief allows you to, it doesn’t wait for you, and that certainly includes those closest to you! but as we all do you just apply the mask and play the role, grin and appear merry. It’s exhausting. I can’t foresee how Christmas will go, grief gives no clues, or indications. I will take it as I find it and get through it for another year.
Boxing Day will be odd, it was always our tradition to go to football together (and the pub) due to covid I’ve not had the chance to do this annual tradition without him there yet, so it’s yet another “first” coming up 4 years later. It will be very strange, there will be tears, but here’s hoping he’s looking down on a 3 point masterclass. |

I’m going to try and catch Keifer Sutherland out of curiosity. But yes all of your list I’m hoping to catch, couple of clashes for us when looking. |
