My dear mother died suddenly on the 29th January 2013. On 29th January 2015 my twin grandsons were born. I could not believe it. At the time of my daughter going into labour, (they were not due until 4th Feb) I was out of my home, walking about, grieving the loss of my mother. I could not take the news of my new grandsons in at the time and wondered why on earth they were born on the same date of my mothers passing. I have never been able to come to terms with that and feel that moment of grief has been taken away from me. Now every year on my grandsons birthday I cry for the loss of my mother. I still miss her so much and wish that my grandsons did not share that day. I know it sounds selfish of me to feel this way but I can't help the way I feel. I love my grandsons very much and hope that one day when they are old enough to understand, I will explain to them that their great-nana died on the same date that they were born. This year once again I am dreading it, spending the day with my grandsons, trying to be happy when all the time deep down inside I am grieving for my mother.
How do you acknowledge Easter.
