Anyone else dreading Mother’s Day? It will be my first Mother’s Day without mum & 8 weeks since she died. I think I’m going to hibernate for the day. Not sure if I can cope seeing everyone else going out and being happy. xx

Oh yes, I am absolutely dreading it too. I keep getting emails and seeing adverts about it. Every time I go into a shop there are cards and gifts everywhere for Mother’s Day and it makes me want to scream.
I’m so sorry for your loss and it’s very recent too, so it will be a difficult day for you. It’s nearly a year since i lost my mum and last Mother’s Day she was very poorly, so it doesn’t hold good memories.
I feel I should mark the occasion somehow, but not sure how. Maybe I will just sit and remember her and the good times we shared. I know it will be upsetting, but every day is upsetting so I’ve got nothing to lose! You will find the strength to get through the day somehow though, whatever you decide to do. Sending you love xx

Totally dreading it the first without her I agree the constant reminders are hard I take comfort that my dad and mum died a week apart and are together

I thought of flowers too, think I will make a decision on Saturday, not sure if I visit the cemetery or not. I asked my sis if she going, her excuse it be muddy up there but there’s not been much rain recently. If I go I be on my own, got work later that day. So should be ok, I know what you mean by the signs in the window. Saw earlier in a charity shop window, I took some of my mothers clothes in.

I have my mum’s ashes at home so I don’t have to take the flowers anywhere. If you don’t want to go to the cemetery, you could put flowers next to a photo of your mum at home. x

Hi all, dreading this first one like you all. Lost mum in November. I cover my eyes in tge shops or avoid the section. It’s hubby’s birthday so will focus on that instead.
Not buying flowers as my house is full of dad’s funeral flowers from last week. 2 parents dying 9 weeks apart is just so cruel. I’m still in shock and numb.
We’ll share some photo’s and memories. I might wear mum’s tartan or something.
Sorry for yoyr losses. Big hug. R x

I am really not looking forward to it; my mom sadly passed away on 8th February and I miss her immensely
I know she is at peace, it doesn’t stop the pain I’m feeling
Sending love and prayers xx

Hi, yes I’m dreading Mother’s Day, I lost my dear mum on 24th June 2021, I see all the lovely cards and gifts in the shops and I walk past them and always think about mum then n I feel lost with out her and miss buying her a nice card and gift, it is so hard when these special days come around, I always say to friends and colleagues who still have their parents with them
Cherish them because one day will come when they are no longer here and it is so painful 
to cope with n not seeing them.

The first Mothers dad after i lost my mum was a blur, my grandma and mum died 3 months apart. I feel so alone Mothers Day for me is just another day now because i think of mum everyday, little reminders or she would of loved this. I am a grandma now so i send my daughters mothers day cards saying how proud i am of them as mothers.

I’m dreading it - Mum died in October really suddenly and this week I’ve been really struggling. I’ve bought her a card and written on it, I’ll put it up where I have her ashes and photos

Sounds like a good plan
Sorry for your loss and know your mum is always with you
Watching over you, just after my mum passed I went to see a spiritualist and my mum came through
Some of the things he told me about I couldn’t believe it as only myself and mum would know these things. It really is a lovely feeling and gives you a little peace knowing they are with us and watching over us all the time
