When Christmas Hurts

Being alone in so many ways as I am sure we can all relate.
It brings with it much pain into lives from every walks of life.
Living in the fantasy of Christmas with its sparkling lights and gifts can be overwhelming.
Looking at our own lifestyle and how we are going to get through the happy go lucky season , is exhausting and draining.
Somehow getting caught up in the magic of it all can help give us a grace from our pain.
Remembering our days of happier times replacing these with somber memories is a healing process.
Accepting feelings of being alone ,thoughts it can trigger ,we can sit in stillness allow our emotions to drift by though watching clouds pass over.
Watching different shapes sizes is like strength and weakness of these sensations which are brought along with these unwanted hurtful times.
It is easy for others to pass you by though they themselves are a passing cloud.
Often making our life feel even more alone when complete strangers say they are here for us.
It is a great expression used often throughout our experiences.
Feeling genuine love from Compassion is something sometimes not been our habit.
Looking at any offers of words of comfort and Solace can help our soul find the pathway.
