Hi all,well im dreading Mothers day-its the second one without my angel mom.Even though I have 3 grown children-I never felt as though Mothers day was in my honor as well..I have aflood of emotions -for years I always said "Its Mothers Day as long as I have my mom"Boy that sentiment is biting me in my ass.I believe the 1st Mothers Day I was still numb (she passed in march' 15),however now I know shes not coming back .We were spiritually connected,I know she's "with"me however this pain runs so deep-down to my soul....
The first one came as my dad was seriously thinking about having his hip replaced. So even though it had been 9 months since mom passed I was focused on my dad and his healthcare needs.
My wife and MIL (who lives with us) are minimizing the day. So I am not sure if they are trying to make it easy for me or if they truly don't much care for the day.
I have cards for them any way, and a small gift for them to share. (They both have more clothing than they really need, same for jewelry. We are about out of room for nick-nacks sooo, something sweet to eat!)
I hope you are able to navigate the day.
We are all working to a new normal for ourselves, and bit by bit (tear by tear) we get there.
Gentle hugs
