Missing my mom

pandorapandoraMember
My mom died three years ago and today is her birthday and i am having such a rough day. My mother-in-law's birthday is two days before and we had the whole family over to celebrate and made a weekend of it. It was really lovely and we had quite a special day on sunday but it churned me up and has made today awful.

I think it was sitting round the table with everyone and knowing that i can never do that again with my own mom and that is just unbearably sad for me. I miss her.

I am just feeling so miserable and so i came here to have a good cry and a cup of tea with friends.

A very sad Pan

Hi Pan, I'm late to this thread, had a busy day, but I'm so sorry that you are feeling this grief for your mom. But I guess when we grieve the loss of someone then it must be that they are very important to us. I'm glad your mom was important to you.

I'd love to have tea with you and I'll bring some chocolate chip cookies to nosh on too.

Many hugs

Hi Pan,

Miss my Dad something awful sometimes so I can relate. On the first year anniversary of his death, we had a dumb dinner - I think it was called. Check it out on the internet. I can't remember the rules but it turned out to be a lot of fun with all of us eventually sharing really nice warm memories of my Dad. Part of the dinner is in silence but we all did eventually talk. My kids admitted afterwards that they were nervous at first but really enjoyed it. With your mil's birthday so close to your mom's and with your mil still around, it must be especially hard.

HUGS,

Liese

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*
