Hi all, this is a very depressing time for me. I have always been depressed around Mother's Day since my mom passed away in 2003. This will be the first Mothers Day without both my parents, and I really haven't stopped crying much today just thinking about it. I have missed my mom tremendously since she passed, but my daddy was always there to help pick up the pieces, now he is gone as well, and I don't have anyone to pick up my emotional pieces. My son is wonderful, he is only 2, but he doesn't understand why mommy is crying, and it upsets him. My husband tries, but it is unfair of my to ask him or expect him to be there for me right now since his father was in a serious accident last week, and has just been moved out of ICU yesterday. I should be there for him, and I am tyring, but when he is not here, the grief I am experiencing is unbearable at times.
Please say some prayers for my family that we can get through all of this, and pick up the pieces and continue to live our lives. I am just so depressed, I just don't feel like doing much of anything. Posted on 05/09/08, 02:05 pm |

I'm so sorry to hear what you are going thru. I totally understand because it will be the first mothers day without my mom too. My father was the first to go back in 1999. I kind of feel like an orphan. Its so normal to feel the way we do about our losses. The thing that has helped a little bit for me is remembering that I too am a mother. I will have to focus on that fact this mothers day. It will be difficult because I was so used to making my mom feel special now I can only receive from my own children. It is my turn to be special. I pray for comfort for you today and every day as you go through the ebbs and flows of grieving. Know that you are never alone.
