AIBU to be feeling just a bit "off"

[chorltonandthewheelies]

Had horrible nightmares all night and been feeling just not myself today a bit stressy and down but not sure why. Assumed I was a bit out of sorts with kids being on holiday and late nights etc.

Then realised the date - my mum passed away 9 years ago today. Now I feel sh*t for not thinking about her all day but I must have known something was up in my subconscious. ( I have 3 young kids, youngest is very disabled and very sick needs care 24/7 and has done since he was born 6 years ago)

Am I being U to have forgotten the date, or would she understand? (her funeral was my b/day in a few days so I always remember that date)

Feeling guilty now,which is daft as I felt out of sorts all day, so AIBU?

Of course she would understand.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that she would probably be glad that it wasn't uppermost in your mind today.

Please go more easily on yourself- you have so much to worry about without fretting about this.

Of course she would understand. Absolutely she would. x

Don't feel guilty. You sound like you have a lot on your plate.

Fwiw, I lost my mother as a child, I know she died in November, but I can never remeber the date.

I know if I could look down on my ds after death, I woundn't worry that he forgot the dateI died. I am sure your mum would not want you to feel guilty.

You did remember and your mum will be grateful for that.

AND very proud of you for thinking foremost about your children and for raising a sick disabled child.

She will want you to be happy.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. I've never been one to wallow so I just get on with things and cope. I guess I just felt a bit disprespectful when I realised but I am sure she would have been more concerned that I was looking after my kids today.

She would have been so proud of all three of them, as would my dad who also sadly passed away a long time ago. I see lots of both of them in my kids.

Thanks for the kind thoughts I appreciate them.
