Ann Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 This is copied from the www.widownet.org forums by a man named Steve. Hoping for peaceful holidays to everyone. " Dear Santa: I hope you would take a moment and listen to this list of Christmas wishes. It is for people who need it more than anything so please take care of them, it is for the newly widowed. I wish they would have at least one day of peace - no anger, no overwhelming sadness, no sense that it's all impossible - just one day of peace. I wish they would have someone who knows them, loves them and is so very concerned about them, just to be there when they need someone around. I wish that they would have at least one person they could call at 3am who would truly listen and better yet understand. I wish they would have at least one day with a full eight hours or more of restful sleep. I wish that someone would surprise them by bringing dinner one night, and I would wish that the dinner would taste wonderful - not like cardboard like so many nights before. I wish they would have friends who will understand why the Christmas cards did not get mailed this year. I wish they would have the strength and courage to cry whenever and wherever they need to, you know Santa its so much better to let the tears out than hold them in. I wish that they would have good health, and be blessed with doctors who understand that grief is a cloak that affects the entire body and soul. I wish they would be free from DGI's for at least one full day. I wish they would have at least one full day free from confusion and widderbrain. And above all, Santa, please give them what we all need here at WN - hope. Just a little hope to help us get through these holidays and the days ahead... Thanks, Santa.
