Sad Mother's Day

Options
To the contrary of the other thread I miss my Mum. It's been 6 years now since her death and I'm only just able to mention it.

So I'd like to send hugs to all those that "joined the gang" and lost their Mum specifically if you are on your own.

    Your Mum hasn't gone, she is just up the stairs. Be sure to close your eyes and wish her a Happy Mothers day and smile as she says "Thank You." ;)

    Thank you MarleyBoy - you're reply bought a tear to my eye - only a little one mind!!

    But it's a first as I still can't cry - Still in denial I think.

    I was given 2 bits of advice when she died (I was in complete shock, deniel and full of adreneline)

    1. Always think of and remember your Mum
    2. You don't have to confront "everything" in life.

    I think I took the latter through no control of my own I'll add.

    Maybe she is up there looking out for me or:-

    maybe I'm just a hard b*tch with no feelings anymore.

    Anyhow, she'd have had half the neighbourhood round yesterday for soup, wine and to watch the Rugby - a real Irish star!!:T

    My mum has been gone 30 years and I still shed a tear every now and again.

    Today, of all days, what I tend to remind myself of is that she is only ever a thought away.

    Hugs to all who have lost their mums, hugs to all who can't be mums and those who choose not to be mums too.

    It's the other way around for me. This is my second one without my darling daughter ( aged 30) and I will always miss her.She was my best friend. We had time to say good bye and talk about lots of things.She told me that she had a wonderful childhood and a wonderful grown up hood She said she would always be there and would haunt me so that I would never be lonely. I often feel that she is near me.
    Happy Mother's Day to all.

    love Pam

    First Mother's Day without my Mum.

    Beem tough but the hardest thing is friends and family thinking that 4 months after she died I'm 'over it'.

    I'm not.

    Hugs to all
