I am still dreading the holidays, but working very hard to make them as “normal” as possible

Laurel:
Thank you so much for your message. It is people like you who are helping me every single day and I so appreciate your time.
Yesterday, I had a slow afternoon so I decided to go ahead and put up the Christmas tree. I will be traveling next week and won’t have time and I have always put up my tree the day after Thanksgiving, since I was a child it has worked that way.
Once I had the tree up, I went looking for the lights and cannot find them anywhere! I’ve always used white lights, I like the pure simplicity of them on the tree. James always complained, he wanted colored lights so we would compromise and I’d have white on the tree and then colored lights around the windows and doors.
When James was first diagnosed and came home after his initial chemo treatments, we decorated his room with colored lights and left them up all year. He just loved laying in bed and looking at the lights, it helped to calm him.
Well, I decided yesterday that since I cannot find the lights, I’ll need to get new ones and they are all going to be colored lights, just as Jamesy would have wanted. I think he is telling me it’s going to be colored lights this year, which is why I cannot find the whites! Bet I’ll find them after I have the colored lights up!
I am still dreading the holidays, but working very hard to make them as “normal” as possible, if there is such a thing.
I was wondering if there might be any books you would recommend on the metaphysical?

i understand about the hoildays this nov 25 would have been my husbands 50 birthday and i am not looking forward to christmas but will find a way as it was his favorite season.i think the colored lights are great,we all need more joyful colour in our lives.
some books you might find helpful are griefs courageous journey by sandi caplan,healing journey through grief by phil rich,at peace in the light by dannion brinkley,all th seth books by jane roberts are good. i know many books on metaphysical topics but these are also metaphysical approaches to your journey. i hope this helps and remeber to take the time you need and then take some more.i try to take the good parts of our life together and recreate my future from that which helps to heal the painflu parts.my love is with you
