It's been 10 years since my mom passed away (Jan.3/99). Mothers Day is just another kick in the stomach for me. I miss her so much! I go online to foral shop websites and imagine what arrangement I would send to her. I imagine the place we would go for a lunch/dinner.
When will the pain of her not being here go away? I know that I am an adult and should be able to accept by now the fact that she is dead and is never coming back.....but my mind won't let me.  This is a book that was recommended to me to read but I never got the nerve up to read the book: "Motherless Daughters: The Legacy of Loss" by Hope Edelman Maybe this book will help someone here on PC that has lost their mother. |

Hi Zen,
I'm sorry you're feeling sad. I will miss my Mom(died 12yrs ago) too. You obviously love your mom alot - so instead of feeling sad, think about all of the wonderfull qualities your mom had. In other words make mother's day a celebration of your mom - you could make a scrapbook, /go put flowers at the gravesite and even go out for lunch with someone special. Instead of feeling it's a sad day, think of it as a happy day, that you honour her memory. It's sounds like you both had a special bond and I don't think she would want you to feel sad. The more at peace you are , the more free her spirit will be free. Fill the gap that you have, with cherished memories and wake up with a smile on mother's day.

((Zen)))))) Im sorry for the loss of your Mom. She was your Mom no matter what. Weather you lost her 10 years ago or yesterday.
I lost mine 8 years ago . At this time of year Mothers day it does bring it all up. When does the pain go away? Not sure , sometimes it changes so its easyer to handle. Wishing you the best kind one I keep wondering when they are going to put a 800 heaven # in. So wish i could call mine and say just I love you one last time. I do understand. My prayers and thoughts are with you

Hi all.
My mom died on Mother's five years ago. My favorite cat died two years ago today and I lost my daughter in Jan. Mother's Day is giving me nightmares. Just thought posting might ease the pain. Reading yr posts made me feel not so alone. __________________ All my best, Lynn AKA Starbuck1128 |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
