So very sorry Julia on the loss of your Mother in Law. Christmas isn’t always the best of time for people no longer with us. We had to put my lovely mom into a care home the day before Christmas Eve in 2018. My thoughts ar always with her but especially at Christmas. She sadly died the following year in May aged 91. You always think that because of big age it’s now their time but for us all left behind who miss them terribly it’s never a good time. Just so sad. Life carries on. All my love, Christine x

Great blog Jules, really interesting. Well done. Nice to see another one from you after so long :-), really well written and interesting.
and just as I’m about to write my own review of the year blog for my own website blog page, too. You have given me some ideas!
Sending you big hugs for a difficult Christmas and as ever you are an inspiration – you look amazing.

Hi Julia, Lovely to read your story of 2022. Condolences for the loss of Chris's Mum, very sad. I lost my Mum in November 2021, she too was 88. I still keep wanting to ring and text her with pictures etc. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year. All the best Sue xoxox

So sorry to hear of the passing of Chris’ mum Julia.

Remember all the good times and all the precious memories you have.

Christmas is a hard time but I always remember the good times had at this time of year with loved ones and it does provide some comfort.

So sorry to read about your mother-in-law. My own mother died in Nov 2009 after a fall breaking her hip. It is always traumatic even if you expect it. I am glad your children were there with her at the end. Christmas is often a sad time and it always was for my mother as her own mother died Dec 1954 and her first baby died Dec 1952. Easter was always her happy time and I think there is less pressure to buy stuff and flowers are beginning to bloom, so a hopeful time of year. Carpe diem
