Another Christmas is almost upon us. Another year is almost over. After the focus around Halloween, then Bonfire Night, then Remembrance, we shift our attention to the Christmas season. Then it will be the new year celebrations, then Valentine’s Day, then Mother’s Day, then Easter, then school/village fetes, then summer holidays... In the midst of this annual cycle of events we also have personal and family birthdays and anniversaries; times of great celebration, and times of sadness and grief.Sometimes the years seem to fly by with one event, or festival after another. At other times they seem to drag on for ever. Some years can feel like an endless stream of events where nothing has changed. In other years our whole world may have been changed due to a new job, or a new home, or a birth, or a marriage, or a death, or some other reason for joy or grief.
