I lost my father a week before Christmas, 24 years ago, and it is a hard loss any time of year, but it definitely marks the holidays in particular. </p> <p>I'm glad that school is going so well. Grad school was a huge thing that engrossed me and occupied me after dad died. I still struggled with depression and grieving, but having a full time job plus grad school to occupy my mind definitely helped me to keep moving forward. </p> <p>I wish all the best for you in 2016! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-and-downs-of-2015#post-1597637 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 15:18:03 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1597637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved reading your overview of the year and how you incorporated fashion, life and events. I'm very sorry for the loss of your mother. I know that it complicates things even more when this happens at Christmas... Both my husband and I lost grandmothers to dimentia as well, and I've noticed that in the grief of their loss over the years, everyone remembers and grieves for the true woman that she was, and the part that was not who she ever would have been in her right mind just fades away. I hope that you and your dad will find comfort in the sweet memories and in each other. I'm just so sorry for the weight of grief that you bear right now - I know that nothing really makes it easier... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-and-downs-of-2015#post-1597635 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 15:10:57 +0000 Anonymous 1597635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our family went through the delusion, aggression and death of my MIL, and it was awful, particularly since she was always a kind and sweet-natured woman. We have to remember all the good times and forget the hell she put us through at the end. Christmas for us was quite different for us, too, so I totally understand.

I lost my grandmother to dementia. I idolised her and I hated what it did to her. Don't be angry with yourself for becoming frustrated with her condition. It's a cruel disease for both the person afflicted and those who love and care for them. We are only human. All the best for 2016 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-and-downs-of-2015#post-1597556 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 04:28:34 +0000 Debbie 1597556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry for your loss.

I know many of you have experienced the loss of a parent and know how it is. It has been a strange and difficult year, and en even stranger and more emotional Christmas holiday. I have been missing my mum for a long time. Several years ago, she was delusional and aggressive (due to her dementia) and I was so angry and upset. I think I talked about that here, and I wish I hadn't. Her aggression overrode all the good childhood memories and brought back the very worst ones, but the reality is that my mum was 99% kind, loving, warm and fun. Her dementia, at least for a time, bought out the worst 1%. But by about two years ago, she became just lost and frail, unable to speak or eventually even recognize me. It was heartbreaking. Dementia stole everything, one tiny piece at a time. I wish I could have her back, even just for a day.</p> <p>All the best for 2016 to everyone &nbsp;:-) xo</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-and-downs-of-2015#post-1597473 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 22:47:31 +0000 Anonymous 1597473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry for your loss, and hope you find peace and healing in 2016.

What a long ordeal you have all had, and in particular it is hard to watch someone suffer that way. My mother also died this summer and the grief has been very heavy at times. I wish you peace and sublimation through art. So glad you are enjoying school and have that to focus on in the midst of the rest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-and-downs-of-2015#post-1597460 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 21:54:13 +0000 Lyn D. 1597460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is &nbsp;so difficult to lose someone so close to you , I hope 2016 brings with it a better and happier time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ups-and-downs-of-2015#post-1597444 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 21:17:24 +0000 Anonymous 1597444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do remember you speak of your mum...I'm so very sorry for your loss.
