Whine/Vent: Mother's Day can suck it
Between losing my mom in August and no longer being a mom-to-be, I am not excited about Mother's Day at all. All the sappy Mother's Day commercials on TV are really depressing me. People are hugging their moms, calling their moms, holding their babies who are calling them "Mama". It just brings back every painful feeling I've been trying so hard to move on from.
I think this Mother's Day is harder on me than Thanksgiving and Christmas were last year. I should be buying my mom something to celebrate, and she should be buying something for me. Things should be different. It just sucks.
For listening to me whimper, you earn a Killer Brownie. Which I ate earlier this evening, thanks to Stees' post about the knock you nakeds.

Re: Whine/Vent: Mother's Day can suck it
Stand up for something you believe in.
I'm sorry
I can offer you some hugs and a tall glass of milk for some killer brownies.
Yeah, this time of year (hell, any time of year) just plain sucks when you've lost your mom. I can't imagine how hard it must be after a recent m/c. I am sorry.
The first everything that year is horrible.
I can't speak to the m/c but I can speak to the mom thing, and I will tell you that it does get better. I didn't think it would, but it does. Then again, it helped a bit this year that Easter was so late cause that really cut down on some of the mother's day advertising. Or I'm just not noticing them.
But hang in there, and feel free to pm me if you want to vent some more.

Yeah - it really does suck. We hadn't really brought up Mother's Day until yesterday - and Michael just lost it. It's going to be difficult this year. I am hoping mcd is right and things get better with time.
Hugs to everyone who has lost their mother!

It does. Trust me. There's still a hole that can never be filled, but the pain does lessen with time (or gets replaced by a different pain). It's a cliche, but it's true. Life goes on.
