Hey Shattered_Angel,

I was wondering if you can make that day a bit special for yourself.... maybe you could go out for a nice long walk, listening to your favorite music on your headphones. Maybe you could get some funny movies and watch them all day. Maybe you can fix your favorite meal or go to your favorite restaurant and celebrate YOU!

I know that anniversaries are hard to get through. But as survivors, we always seem to do just that.....survive and get through it! I hope you will find a way to make it somewhat easier for yourself as you deserve it!

Take good care!

Anniversaries are so hard. In no way are you selfish by writing about it. That's strength you are showing. The pain of anniversaries slowly ebb (or so I'm told) but the other feelings that surround it are harder to deal with.My T calls it complicated grief. You are'nt dealing with one event but all the events surrounding the death of your mother.
I'm very sorry you're hurting.
Thanks for this!
