Oh my gosh Zoe, that made me cry. So true for us all. My wish for you all is that you can find some inner peace on this Motherā€™s Day :pray: :sparkling_heart:

Like you Victoria I am in tears reading thisā€¦the words are so true, for we have faced the worst thing that can ever happen to a Mother or Father and we have survived, even though our lives are in shreds and we will never be the same person ever again.
Thank You Zoe for sharing this with us.
Love to you all today,and hope we find peace and tranquillity to help us through.

Hi Zoe, this is so very true :sob: Itā€™s impossible for others to really know the pain of these special days and how very very hard they are to get through. Only the Mothers and Fathers here.

Oh Zoe , such true to form words . Yes will never ever be the same mothers , inside we are suffering so much . Hope you have had a peaceful day with your family around yo . I have been very weepy this weekend , as my cousins husband
Is going to pass away anytime . And when I spoke to her Friday , he is going through exactly the same things as Dawn . He hasnā€™t been eating so switched all his machines off , urging him in a room so the family can say their goodbys . My cousin said I exspect it brings back bad memories . I wander to say No my bad memories are with me every single day . And to top it all off . My dear Mum passed Mothering Sunday 1984 . She was the best mum ever . Sending hugs to all . Love Maddiexxxx

Hi Zoe ,lovely words, but I am sorry to say I donā€™t feel stronger. I feel weaker every day. Where do you get this strength from, I just feel broken beyond broken. Hoping i find it one day anyway. Sending love jss xxx

Dear Jss, we have all felt the way you feel now. It will get easier but we live with our pain. It doesnā€™t go away, we just seem to carry it with us better somehow.
Sending hugs, love and strength.

Dear all, life is so unfair and learning to live without our precious children is the worst pain we will ever go through. But as Kate says, somehow we learn to live with it though at one time I would never have thought that possible. For me, I keep going for my other two children and my grandchildren and they are worth living for. But some days are hard. Sending you all much love xxx

Dear All,
Just wanted to send you all my love and say well done to us all for making it through another difficult day :broken_heart: none of us feel strong, the pain never leaves us, we just learn as time goes by to live alongside our grief, for those of us who are blessed with other children we have to put them first before ourselves as this is what parents do, which is exactly what you are doing Zoe itā€™s called surviving and I am so proud of you :heart: none of wants to be in the ugly shoes club but we have no choice, I feel I am some sort of android and will only stay on this planet to try and make others happy but I will never dance again if you get what Iā€™m saying :broken_heart: big love to all Michelle xxxx

Dear all Mums and Dads. Another day of memories we have all got through. I was on my own all day but had a beautiful bouquet from Jemma. I walked all the dogs and took myself out for breakfast. It was a stunning day. Later I pottered in the garden trying to clear up a bit after all the trees having come down in the storms in February. Still lots of wood to clear but clearing a lot of fine twigs has made a difference. All piled up for a bonfire now. Physical work does help us through. I remember in the early days I would work like crazy, one thing after another so I didnā€™t have time to think about our loss.
We all got through yesterday, we are all here for each other today and every day.
Much love to you all, Kate xx

Hello Kate, Zoe Marina JSS and all

Like you all I struggled yesterday, I put Samā€™s card out with Geraints like I do each year and told him I loved him and missed him very much. Yet when I went to bed I had a really powerful dream, I met Sam we were on a hill he had his black anorak on and I couldnā€™t stop hugging him. We went together into this house on the hill and he went off to see his friends. It was so powerful I had trouble waking up. I am sure it was Samā€™s way of letting me know he is still around me.
Love Helen

Oh Helen, what a lovely dream to have had, to see your Sam again, to hold and hug him and to tell him how much you love him is every Mothers dream on this site.
I very rarely dream of Christian but every night I ask him to come to me, to see his face, hear his voice and laughter once again would be my prayers answered. You have given me hope, Take care, love Marina xxx,

Dear Helen, what a lovely dream! I too put Gemmaā€™s Mothers Day card out along with Tiffany and Louieā€™s and I sobbed that night, telling Gemma how much we all missed her.
I would love to have a dream like that but it does give me hope so that k you so much for sharing it xxx

Hi everyone , like you all I really struggled this Motherā€™s Day . And like you Helen I had a visit from Dawn a couple of weeks after she passed . It was over so quickly , she just popped her head around the lounge doorway , and said her usual words Hi Ya , she looked so well her hair was shining and had a blue jumper on her favorite colour . And the most remarkable thing was 2 months later our Grandson described the same dream . Something he would not normanally say . So there is hope .Maddie xx

Dear all. The most significant thing that happened to me was a couple of months after Lisa passed. The room went icy cold and there was such a strong smell of roses or flowers anyway. Alan didnā€™t feel it or smell it. I think that was Lisa coming to comfort me.

Lots of love to you all dear friends.
