Re: here come the holiday's... charmed: I have three children, but they are all grown so I doubt they would be of much help to you LOL
I know the sadness of holidays when you're whole world is turned upside down. I've spent a few by myself, but I realize that I have to start new traditiions, even if they may be alone.
One thing that helps is to reach out to others instead of focusing on what you're missing. Volunteer work around the holidays helps you and helps others. There are many that have it worse than we do and I try to count my blessings. Sometimes it's tough, but I'd rather see life in a positive manner than to drown in my sorrow.
My heart goes out to you for your pain in missing out so much on your children's life-
