We can spread a smile of joy. Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time. But say a prayer, pray for the other one at Christmas time. It's hard, but when you're having fun, there's a world outside your window and it's a world of dread and fear, where the only water flowing is the bitter stinging tears.
As the festive season approaches, join award-winning journalist Trish Wood and her longtime friend Jacquie for a heartfelt and candid holiday chat.
