Sorry meant to say , Sarah has got to back on Mother’s Day for her usual checks to see if she can have her last chemo on Tuesday . Everyone of all her friends are rooting her on saying she is so brave . But at the end of the day , it’s her body that will say . My heart is breaking for her so much , I just want to scream . It’s so much like grieving . It’s unbelievable xx

I used to love Mother’s Day but find it hard now. Sending love to all you amazing mums (and Jim!) on here. I will be thinking of all of you. Do you think it would be nice if we all lit a candle tomorrow evening as a way of remembering our beautiful children? :heart:

Dear Everyone. I really hope today is not as bad as the lead up has been for us . Already taken diazepam though. My partner got up in the middle of the night so I know she is going to really struggle today. Mothers Day was always a big thing in our small family, just the three of us, and this is the first one without our daughter.
We are staying in because everywhere including pubs and restaurants will be mothers day focused.
It’s just a horrible feeling of loss and emptiness , and perhaps dates shouldn’t be so important but they seem to have much more impact and bring so much more sadness than other days. I don’t know what the answers are but I am hopefully that the as the years go by this does become a little easier.

Andy, the lead up to any significant date/day is agony and often it is worse than the day itself. Somehow, I don’t know how, we get through it. Today will be the 8th Mothers Day without my daughter, it’s not the same, how could it ever be. I will be taking a card and gift to my own Mum who is 88. Our world is a very different place and we aren’t who we used to be. One thing which is predictable is that time does not stand still for anyone eventhough we want the world to stop.
Sending everyone love and hope to get through this day.
Love Chris x

Thank you Chris.
That’s helpful and yes life will never be the same again. As many have said it does get a little easier and one day we may be able to enjoy some parts of life again. X
