...since my Mum died and no one has remembered!

I have a very small family, my Father has remarried and now lives abroad and my Brother seems to have forgotten the date. Thats all the family I have. My DP (only been with for 2 years) hasnt remembered the date and no friends have either. Maybe I am expecting to much from people.

So I am sat here at home with my teething 6 month old DD, missing my Mum terribly and no one knows or has even bothered to remember.

Sorry that this is a bit depressing.

Nat777, sorry to hear this, I know how you feel as my father died nearly two years ago and I think of him every day. I don't feel the same since he died.

Try not to feel too depressed, but it is hard for others to remember. One of my friend's mentions my dad as if he is still alive,it is difficult as sometimes friends forget without meaning to.

I hope this can bring you some comfort in that you are not alone in feeling like this.
Chin up!!! larsxx

I am sharing your grief today it is also the anniversary of my father's death. I still miss him and think about him often although he was tragically killed now along time ago, 31 years in fact but it doesn't seem like it.

I usually try not to anticipate the day but it always catches up with me and I have a good few tears.

Hugs xx

Thanks lars, I know it is hard for others to remember. I am probably asking too much, just wish that there was at least one person to share my grief with.

Zippitippitoes, my thoughts are with you today. Time does seem to heal things, but I dont think it matters how many years ago that you have lost someone, it still hurts.

Thanks guys, it helps to chat to someone XxX

Maybe everyone is keeping quiet, thinking that you won't remember - and they don't want to upset you.

I lost my Dad nearly three years ago.

Must really hurt that your Mum isn't there with you and your dd.
