to wish all the Mother's Day stuff would f*** off?!

[StarryEyedMama]

It's the first Mothers Day without my mum, the anniversary of her death in April. I found my 30th Birthday hard enough (only a couple of months after she died) and Mothers day is looming around the corner - I didn't think (selfishly) when my mum was around how difficult it was for others to see/hear about all of this stuff. I know I've got to put on a "face" on Sunday so that DD and DS can enjoy the day but frankly all I want to do is stay in bed and cry.

Sorry I know this is a very whingey post - just needed to vent! I know I need to man up and realise I'm damn lucky in so many ways.

and YANBU, being angry helps!

Sorry, I feel really insensitive now having just responded to my thread about mother's day. So apologies to all of you and thinking of you.

Don't worry about it boschy, the point must be to appreciate people and show it while you can - so good choice to spend the day with your mother.

jinsei - I think that would be a really thoughtful thing to do.

QuestionTime - I am so sorry for your loss.

Reading through everyone's posts and having a good cry (pregnancy hormones not helping).

Will be thinking of everyone who is missing someone special person on Sunday.

My mum died just after my 20th birthday, I am 27 now. I deal with Mother's day by refusing to think about it and avoiding it where I can. It's quite difficult.

My sympathies and good luck to all dealing with missing mum this year

My mum died eight years ago. I was 23 and had only just started to get to know her as an adult iyswim.

Like others have said, time and having children of my own has helped, but my god that first year was raw and there will always be a hole in my heart.

Hope Sunday passes quickly for those here who need it to.

QuestionTime :( my heart goes out to you
