This is the first year I haven't been really beat up with grief.

Mother's Day was one of the worst but I don't feel sad. It feels like my day this year, because I am indeed a mom, not just motherless.

If I could make my birthday and xmas crap go away I'd be all good.

I'm trying not to think of Mother's Day.
First year without my mum.

@basilfawlty89 I'm so sorry my friend. It is so so difficult and there's no way around it. It's okay to feel it hun, you are allowed your feelings. Just know that it gets easier. It never stops hurting, but the pain settles in to a place of remembrance and rests.
