Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mom’s out there. I survived my first Mother’s Day without my Mom. The last week was very hard. Every other email I got proclaimed “What to get your mother!”. I just really just wanted to forget about the whole thing.
I had wanted to go to the cemetery unfortunately I posted about it on Facebook. I was hoping to go alone. I do what I needed to do for myself there. My father and Not So Secret Sister replied that they wanted to go as well. So instead of going alone, I went with Not So Secret Sister and Dad. It went well.
She now has a flat headstone but no grass around her. Hopefully they will put some sod down soon. My other sister was visiting as well and it felt good to see everyone. I suppose other Mother’s Days will be easier. I am happy this one is over.
I thought about you today and hoped you were doing okay. I'm glad you got to go visit your mom and see your family. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela. I hope your Mother's Day was good as well.
DeleteMy sympathies to you, Jen. I know it must have been a hard day. I'm glad you were able to be with your family.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot better than I thought it would be.
DeleteIt must have been very difficult for you today. There is so much positivity surrounding Mothers Day but I always have a thought for how hard it is for those who have lost, or never even known their Mothers.
ReplyDeleteI hope it gets easier and it will become a time you can remember her without it hurting so much xx
I have been talking to a lot of people who have felt the same way after losing a parent. It totally helps me to talk about it.
DeleteYesterday must have been so painful. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
