Hi everyone..my lovely mum died 4 months ago from cancer in her early 50s..hurts like he'll and I miss her so much..

My mums parents are still here..mothers day is approaching and I stuck what to do..for years my lovely mum always got her mum something from me as well as her for mothers day..and I always had a little moan about why I need to buy her something when she's not my mum..but I did it anyway as it seemed to be a tradition..

Now I feel like this year I can't do it..im a mum myself and just want to spend my day visiting the cemetery and being with my daughter..im stuck on if I should maybe just send a card in the post to keep the peace ? Or just do what my heart says and have this year off from buying or sending card? We're not very close but I do speak to her once a week or so since my mum passed 😢

Shes only mentioned my mum once in 4 months 😔 so I feel angry she's not visited the cemetery and I just feel she's being cold
I'm struggling with grief still and I don't no what to do for the best ?

Sending love and strength. Lost my dad to cancer in his early 50s too. It's horrible. Regarding Mother's Day, do whatever makes you happy. Maybe a card in the post would be a nice gesture but make sure you spend your day how you want to. X
