    So sad! I really think that the festive time of year can make a bad situation worse. It shines a spotlight on issues and makes lonely people feel even more so. Well written as ever Walter :-) x

    Walter, such a sad write. It's unfortunate that a lot of people deal with this as their reality. Well done-

      Thanks Brenda and yes you are right, reality for some can be harsh even at the best of times.

      Thanks Em & sorry. This was inspired by a work colleague who is going through exactly this.

    Very emotional, and I noticed that you said this was inspired by a work colleague. My heart goes out to them. All too often we bask in our own joy and merriness that we forget it is not like that for others. It's not easy or simple for them to rejoice, and most often, it has nothing to do with lack of gratitude but the immediate feelings of despair. This should call us to compassion.

      Thank you Poet and very well said. I can't even tell you how many times I thought about her while I was surrounded by family on Xmas day. Like Em says, it broke my heart too.
