Motherless Children Support Group
This community focuses on children (of any age) who no longer have a mother in their lives, whether as a result of death or extended separation. A mother plays a crucial role in both early childhood development as well as support throughout one's life. How is your life affected by the lack of this integral relationship?
Tomorrow is the anniversary of my mom's death, and while I think I'm feeling OK about it, this year has been really tough without her. In June I lost my job due to COVID layoffs, and a few weeks ago my partner of almost 3 years left. So today I'm finding myself in a really weird spot where my usual support system for both is kind of on its head.
My mom would have been my go-to for breakup support, and my ex was my support for these anniversaries. Thankfully, I have two friends who've been really great (one has lost his mom, too), but it is still rough.
And topping it all off... I was posting a picture of my mom (one I share every year on her anniversary) and I saw a comment from my ex last year that said, "I'm with you today and every day." So that didn't age well. I deleted that comment (but left one from 2 years back that was more general), but damn. It was a punch in the gut I really didn't need today.
I am glad you do have two friends to open up to. Having people to support you during this time is encouraging. Reaching out and sharing your feelings and not keeping them inside is just what you need to do. So it is good you are reaching out.
I am sure you have heard the phrase time will heal all wounds. Though it is true, it is not easy while you are going through those tough times. Prayer for me also helps. I give all my concerns to God because I know He loves us and cares for us.
I will be praying for you. Hugs and God Bless
