for orgers who have lost their moms...

how was it for you on that first mother's day? it's been 8 months since my mom passed, and i'm still kinda finding my way through this. tell me something about your mom that you remember most fondly.
my mom was sweet and giving and always put her children first. even at the twilight, it was about us carrying on, not grieving for her. so, mary magdalene lewis, HAPPY MOMMA'S DAY....from your son Chris

this year will be my first mother's day without a mom.

last year i wasn't able to be with my mom ON mother's day, but i visited her a weekend or two later and gave her a pink kimono that she thought was the coolest thing she'd ever seen. then we went out to dinner and had a really long, nice talk, and we walked all around at an outdoor mall for hours and saw a movie late at night. it was the most energetic i'd seen my mom in years, and the most articulate.

a few weeks later, she was back in and out the hospital. her body started to very slowly shut down over the next few months. we were going to celebrate my birthday at her house in august, and when i got there, i found mom comatose in her bed. by the middle of september, she was gone.

i think that last mother's day, even if it was a little belated, was the best mother's day we ever spent together. i often think of it - some of the things she said, the unusual amount of energy and spirit she had that weekend - and i wonder if it was her way of saying goodbye.

my mom's last mother's day was spent in a nursing home. me, my sister and her kids all went to see her for a few hours. took her a big old lily and some cards. she made it home on memorial day, and passed on labor day. you never think that the time will come, even if you expect it.

The first mother's day after was horrible: I spent it very angry because it didn't have to be. She was only 43 years old. My mother and I were not very close but she was my friend. I have her smile.

For everyone who has lost their mother.

I lost my mom when I was 17, which was devastating because I was the only child.

Losing my mother left me always needing to find guidance. I found wisdom and guidance in others, but I also found condecension and patronizing aand some very hard lessons i had to learn on my own.

as a result, i am very reserved and standoffish, but most poeple say i'm very friendly and sometimes sweet.....

I find security in having children of my own even though, with kids, there is almost never a guarantee that they will stay with you.. I realize they have there own lives to lead. Most of the time the girls don't like me anyway...


I haven't been the mother they probably needed, I had a limited example, but we just continue to learn, grow and try to get along with each other.

i really don't remember it, after she "left" everything was numb, i am only just getting out of it, 13yrs later..... im 23 now.

here is a pic of my mommy and I.....when i was younger, i will post another one of more recent.

for myself

My Mom is physically still with me but has been very very lost in other ways for many yrs now

this thread is going to make me cry. My mom is still with us, but I know one day she won't be. Knowing that makes me appreciate her all the more.

:hugs: to everyone that has lost their mom.
