We can never replace the ones we long to see no matter what time of year it is, and sadly we feel the loss of them more in December when the world rejoices. “As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.” (Proverbs 25:20).
Take comfort and rest in the Lord who understands.

Well said. I spent many hours with tears this holiday season as it’s been only a few weeks since the passing of my dad. And yet I am grateful for the memories for that is why he was so loved.
I’m sorry for your loss. My daughter passed a year ago nearThanksgiving. Thank you for reading and commenting both. May your memories help comfort you.
Didn’t even want to hit the line button.😞 I’m sorry. I can’t imagine the loss of a daughter. I am grateful there feels like some peace in your words, as well as bringing comfort to others. Including me.
🖤🖤🖤 Those first two lines struck a cord. Beautifully done.
