We have shared so much on GN about Mothering Sunday (Mother's Day if you prefer) and the ins and outs of whether we set much store by it, what we want / hope for / won't get in terms of visits etc.
I just want to send out hugs across the ether for all those of you who have lost a child / children. This can make what should be a happy day, another difficult day to be managed, even if you have other children.
I know I will inevitably think of my lovely DD2 and I know I need to do something in memory of my lost child this day. I have old cards she sent me that I can look at, but this has just made me more sad in the past. I can go to her grave (not that she is there...) and I will have some flowers in the house. I will remind myself of the very beautiful and unique person she was, how she was loved and cherished, how she will never, ever be forgotten, how she made me a better person for being her parent ...
So, for those of you that carry this ache, and a great big cyber hug. xx
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
