I miss my Mum

My mum passed in 2020, but I still feel that this time of year ( Mothers Day) is so unbelievably hard, it just reminds me of how much I miss her.

Im a mother too I have a thirteen year old daughter and of course its lovely to spend mothers day together with her but I just feel like there’s this empty space where my mum should be.

I’m feeling it. I lost my mam last year. No one seems to get it! Seems like everyone thinks I need to move on.

@Jo83 I’m sorry to hear about your loss :frowning:

I don’t think you genuinely move on at all you just learn to manage the pain on a day to day basis.

But special dates, birthdays, Christmas anniversaries and of course mothers day they just hurt.

I lost my mum this Mother’s Day and had to try and celebrate it for my youngest who has learning difficulties whilst feeling the worst pain ever. Not sure how any mothers days will be ever again after that

I’m so, so sorry. This is incredibly painful. I lost my mum to a very quick cancer when my first born was a baby. He had not yet been diagnosed autistic with learning disabilities at that time. It was the most emotionally painful and draining time of my life as I now recognise being a new mum especially with a disabled child brought with it an extra hard dimension in trying to work through the grief - I wasn’t getting the space, rest or sleep to be able to work through grief much. I didn’t recognise that until a lot later (about 2-3 years later tbh). Sending huge heartfelt hugs your way :heart:

I totally get how you feel.

My mum would have been 85 years old this mother’s day. Birthday and mother’s day on the same day. Unfortunately we lost mum 10 years ago. So this mother’s day got me the hardest this year.

It’s odd, you will learn to go along with the missing feeling and the pain but every now and again something will come along and make it all very real again.

The missing feeling may always be present, some times more than others. But you are creating the memories with your wee one now which she will be able to look back on in the future
