Today (4th or September) should have been my mum’s 52nd birthday. She died in January of this year and me and my sisters are still partly in shock and trying our best to recover from the huge, devastating loss.
We celebrate her, we love her and like every day, we miss her so deeply.
Do you do anything to mark your lost loved one’s birthdays?
And since you’re here, tell me about the people you miss. A fact about my mum is that she loved space. Rocket launches, space exploration, constellations… they all made her so happy. She just loved to learn about everything and anything.

I lost my mum March 9th this year and my auntie who was like a mum to me on May 20th this year. Both unexpected very fast losses. It was my aunties birthday 2nd September and my mums is 30th September. It was really hard. I have 2 kids 7 and 6 and I worry every day that one day they wont remember their grandma and auntie so we talk about them often (which i find really hard). On my aunties birthday we each had some cake with a candle in and blew the candle out while thinking of our favourite memory of her. She was a geography teacher and she loved travelling.
We are going to do the same for my mums birthday too and we also have a scrapbook to start once Im ready to fill with all our favourite memories of them. My mum was a self published author and she loved all things books. We didnt have the closest relationshio, i was closer to my auntie but I miss them both so much.
