I'm sad today

Tamayra......hugs and lots of understanding coming your way.

Mine died 10 years ago. Sometimes though it seems as though it was yesterday or if she is still here. The other morning just as I was waking I felt her presence very strongly. I think it's because our mothers are the people we have the strongest and longest relationship with and they love us unconditionally in a way noone else ever will.
The sad thing is I don't think. I fully appreciated her when she was here.

My Mum died 2 years ago on Valentine's Day. I find it so hard to think about that day it has traumatic memories for me. Whilst my Mum lay dieing in the room my Sister just flipped and lost the plot over a silly thing, she went berserk we ended up physically fighting in the room. It went on for a while. I had to send a text to my Nephew to come and get her as I literally thought she was going mad. He came and took her away whilst his wife said she would stay with my mum whilst I had a break. My mum Sadler died whilst I wasn't their. My biggest fear is that I hope my mum never heard us.. The tears are dripping down my face right now I will never forgive my sister for as long as I live. I have never spoken to her about why she acted as she did as I dony want to repeat it again.

Me too
Not many happy memories for me either
Didn’t shed a tear when she died

Oh how I envy those of you who have/had a loving relationship with Mum. I was an only child and Mum told me, as a child, that my father didn't want children so she told him that she hoped that she died first and that he would be left alone with no one to look after him..I arrived after 10 years of marriage! Mum was widowed for 17 years and made my life so difficult with her demands and comparing me to her friends daughters. I feel wicked saying this, but felt a huge sigh of relief after she died. I did my best but it was never enough. Sorry, never said this to anyone before.

Beejo, didn't quite understand what you said, and I don't want to pry, but it looks like you don't have good memories. Big hug for you x

It will get better Harris27 but it will take time. Be kind to yourself, treat yourself gently and as if you were your best friend. So sorry for the loss of your mum. x

Sending a big virtual hug and glad you have happy memories of your mum. I have a new man in my life after decades on my own and I am sure my mum would have been very happy for me. I have felt her presence in a very light hearted and happy way since this started. I don't know if it is my imagination but I have felt her presence before. I am sure your mum will be watching over you with her love. x

You obviously have lovely memories of your Mum. Hang on to that - being sad is perfectly OK.

I hope you all realise how lucky you are to have such good memories. I had my mum for a long time but missed her from the day I was born.
My children have happier memories of her than I do.

My mum died 7 years ago and still find myself going to tell her something her adored GC and GGC have been doing. Sending you love whywhywhy

My lovely mum died 2 years ago. I still want to phone her and tell her things about what I've done and how her great granddaughters are doing.

Whywhywhy ??for you. Go with it...there will be better days as well, as I know you know.?

My mum died 21yrs ago,I still miss her, and talk to her when I feel down,or have a problem. Sending love whywhywhy.

Yep, when they're good, they're really really good. I regularly have a knowing wink and a nod to mine. The longer I live the more I realise how wonderful she was. Think she knew I appreciated her at the time but I didn't show it half enough as I wish I had.

My condolences got out to you Whywhywhy with a big hug and to all of you who have lost your mums. [
My mother is still alive at 94years and time woth her is very precious.

Hugs to you all. My mum died 14 years ago and I still miss her very much. I talk to her photographs regularly and tell her about how much I appreciated all that she did for us. I hope she knew that as well when she was with us and how much we all loved her.

Whywhywhy, I am so sorry ? you miss your Mum, I know just how you feel I miss my Mum too, and it doesn’t seem to get easier although she died some years ago.
Our Mums are very precious to us aren’t they, sending you love ? n ? hugs to you.
Take care.❤️?xx

How I sympathise (((((whywhywhy))))).We lost our Mum 7 years ago,and Dad 12 years ago. There's 5 of us here and a brother in the States. On their birthdays and anniversaries we all get together and reminisce. It's a mixture of sadness and happiness and keeps us together as we know they would want us to be. I hope you have others to share with you. Love to all who grieve the loss of cherished parents.

I miss my parents too. Just yesterday my little DGD was asking me what my mother was like.
I mark their birthdays, usually by planting a flower and phoning my siblings.
You are not alone.

grieving never really goes away, over time we learn to manage it but anniversaries and special days open the wounds and can be incredibly painful. Be kind to yourself today

Lost mine over 40 years ago.

Lost my mam three weeks ago an trying to cope with this.everything back to normal but huge hole has appeared in my life.

Wish I could hug you but a virtual one has to do

((((whywhywhwy)))))

Sadness is the price we pay for having wonderful Mams - but it's worth it. What amazingly loving memories you must all have.

Thank you so much x
