This will be the 5th Mother's Day, I've had to live without her. She was 78. I still miss her so much. Mother's Day is the worst. I usually take flowers to the cemetery and talk to her for a while. And unless my daughter is there, in which case I pretend everything is fine. I sleep as much as possible so I don't cry all day. I don't know that this is good coping skills but it's the way I make it through the day.

You have my deepest sympathy.
