In Florida alone with my dog today

[Anonymous]

I am in Florida alone with my dog today. My parents are both deceased my only sister and her DH live in the midwest.

It is sunny aND peaceful and bright, and nother turkey.

However, I can't wait for this day to be over. I am overcome with a deep pain inside of grief of the family I lost and the family I don't have. I know I will be okay. I don't celebrate Thanksgiving because I just want the day to be over. It is too painful to remember the holidays I spent with my family.

Anyone else feel that way? I will take a walk on the beach with my dog and try to enjoy the beautiful weather.

I'm sorry, OP.

Some people find solace in volunteering on T-Day. There are many less fortunate people who would love your company today.

Hugs op. Both my parents are gone. It's hard. Give the dog a snuggle and enjoy what you can.

Hugs, OP. We are all given some blessings in life and some curses. Thinking of you.

OP,

My father died this morning and I was not there. He lives far away. My mother has been gone for two years.

I don't want to bother anyone with my news because today is Thanksgiving. But I can't think of much else.

I am glad you came here to make me realize what I have and had. I wish I could be on the beach with you and your dog OP. I want to give you a virtual hug.

Love and peace to you.

So sorry, OP and the last two posters. I lost my dad a month ago and today just seems like another sad day in so many ways. Hugs to you all.

I'm sorry, above OP's. My dad also passed away today in a hospice facility, right after my mom and I left his bedside to have Thanksgiving dinner with family friends. We had been with him every day and he waited until we left to pass. I left my mom with her friends and I am now alone with my dogs. Hugs to all of those in similar situations. I also want this day to end.

I'm sorry. My family stayed with my grandmother for days and nights, and then we all left at 10pm one night to go home and sleep in our own beds. She waited until we left and passed away at 11pm. So sorry about your dad...

Sorry to hear about your dad.
