My cousin and his dear wife were wiped out in a car accident soon after Christmas two years ago. He was a very special person and close to my late dad so a double – no- triple – whammy. Anniversaries are so hard to deal with especially at Christmas.
I’m so sorry for your losses. Yes they are difficult. Since my mother‘s birthday was Christmas, and because this year was a big birthday if she’d been alive, it was a little extra rough. She’s been gone three years this past November.
That’s very rough indeed, I’m so sorry. It occurred to me while I was writing to you, that my relatives were killed very close to the Jane Austen House we were discussing recently. It happened in a tranquil country lane near lavender fields 3 minutes from their home. Tragic.
“It's Amy,” I said. 
I lost my dad eight years ago. And while we learn how to live with it, we never really get over it, do we?
Merry Christmas, Amy.

We never do. Grief doesn’t go away, it is carried.
Merry Christmas, Rob.

I’m so sorry. Such a beautiful area, and so close to home. Tragic.
