At Festive Occasions

At every festive, grand occasion
  Not all can join in celebration
Their minds beclouded by their sorrow
  Leave them be, until tomorrow

Hi Gershon, Everyone grieves at their own pace and they need space to do so- Alexis

This is exactly what should be done, as they are not ready to celebrate.

I've also lost my zest for the holidays. They've become a grind and, due to personal circumstances, sometimes I'd just rather be left alone... Thanks for the comment, Sandra. Best wishes, Gershon

Good advice Gershon, even those grieving have to put being jolly on hold for a while. Tom
