I wish my mum was here for Christmas

My mum lost her life when she was 25. A quarter of a lifetime lived and two young daughters and a heartbroken husband left behind. The car accident took place just two months after my second Christmas. It seems that even now it is the most difficult thing to talk about, the years that have past have made no impact on the pain felt by my family and myself. Death will never be easy to talk about, the sadness and loss of a person so close makes for a depressing conversation topic. But no one prepared me for how life would be moving forward without a mother and what I would miss out on.
