Loss of father and dealing with holidays

[Hansongirl]

I lost my father early Oct this year. I went and saw him every other week for years and now I have to deal with holidays. How? 
also anyone else spouse not ask them anymore how they are doing? Or if they need anything?

It's rough, I'd just as soon skip it. I don't h:(ave the strength to put up a tree, kids no longer come, snow to deal with so I stay in and try to ignore it but that's hard too. I used to love putting up a tree in his honor, but I bought another tree and can't get it out of the box.

It's common to have your spouse not ask, they don't know how to handle emotion or know what to say...I lost my spouse nearly 20 years ago and my parents 10 and nearly 43 years ago.

I have not ever been married (yet), so I can't understand the spouse thing; however, it is the same thing with family or friends, they stop knowing what to say as well so they say nothing also. It is rough knowing someone has lost someone and the world just goes on around us regardless, sometimes that is a very bitter pill to swallow.
