You are not alone

You are not alone at all - I feel pretty much the same way you do.  I lost my dad many years ago at this time of year and this is the first Christmas since I lost my mom.   Just really ready for the whole "happy, happy" season to be over.   The other suggestions about talking to a spiritual adviser are good ones.  Or you could try to find like-minded people and ignore the holidays together!  I always ended up working when I worked in hotels - it sort of gave me an excuse to ignore all the rest of the "good fellow, good cheer" stuff that I just didn't want to have anything to do with. 

I hope things start to turn around for you.  You will get through this.  Don't feel guilty about feeling the way you do.  Any feelings are valid because they are YOUR feelings.
