Join me on hating Mother’s Day!

[pinkpantz]

My first one without my darling, beautiful Mum.
I lost her 7 months ago and my heart is shattered - dreading Mother’s Day, dreading work on Monday (I just know I’ll still feel like crap after crying all day tomorrow).
I don’t want to remember, I don’t want to listen to her favourite music, still write her a card.. all these things that are supposed to help.
I want her here 💔
NB: I have my own x3 DC so of course I will celebrate with them but, meh…

I so understand this, I lost my mum in June last year and have been really struggling over the last few weeks with all the Mother’s Day reminders
no advice just a big hug x

I’m 12 years in and some years it’s fine and it just goes by, and but this year it’s got to me seeing things in shops etc. I’m working tomorrow so good distraction and don’t have my own kids. Partner will be with his mum while i’m working.

Hugs to all that need them.

Sending love OP x

I struggle with mother's day too. My first as a mother was the day before my DD's funeral 😢

Completely understand and sending a huge hug.

its the anniversary of mums death on Mother’s Day this year so feels like a double hit. I’ve been dreading it for weeks.

i bought her some beautiful roses and a card that is just as I would buy her normally. Sobbed in the card aisle reading the but it’s bringing me a little comfort looking at them. Mum always got me a Mother’s Day card telling me what a great mum I was - I will miss that boost this year.

sending love xx

Yes. I saw all the bunches of flowers in the shops, and the cards, and people buying them, and it gave me such a feeling of sadness and grief and jealousy and loss. I hate Mother’s Day.

I feel this with every fibre of my being. My Mum died 7 days after Mother's Day last year. She was in hospital on Mother's day, my sister and I went to see her in hospital and that was the last time we saw her ok together although we saw her separately after. I took her a card in hospital which I ended up bringing home again with her belongings after she died.
Mother's Day can fuck off.

2nd one without adult DS.

My first without my beautiful mum and best friend. She died suddenly a month ago. I've cried all morning and have a headache now. I'm a mum too but this day will always be painful now.
I still can't bear to go to the shops as all I see are mums and daughters, have resorted to online shopping for now.

It's my 2nd one without my darling mum, though she died a few days before it last year so I was still in a daze and everything was so raw.
This year feels like the first somehow.

Teen DCs have bought me cards and plants but I'm struggling so much. Just had a long bath so I could cry and going to take some daffs down to the cemetary later, she loved daffs.

I'd give anything to be phoning her up today and telling her how much I love her. I'm constantly looking for signs from her but there isn't any and that makes me cry too, stupid I know.

Sending love to you all xxx

Its my second mother's day without my mum she died at the end of January 2025
I dont hate it as I im also a mother
But im feeling emotional and me and my sister and our mum always had lunch out on mothers day .

My mum sadly passed away five years ago and it still stings . She loved Mother’s Day and the flowers ( although hideously overpriced!) just make me sad . I did have a tiny cry while having my eyebrows threaded this morning but blamed it on hormones 😢

hugs to everyone having a sad day today x

First without Mum. She died 8 months ago. Felt ok until a couple of hours ago. SH!T. Am also a mum so trying to put a brave face on it. Hugs everyone.
