First Mother's Day without Mum

Hi all,

Last year on April 2019, I lost my mum to Metastatic Breast Cancer and I still miss mum a lot. Now that Mother's Day is fast approaching on the 22nd March and with the Corona Virus Epidemic ongoing, I am not sure what to do for the first Mother's Day without mum. Mum is always in my thoughts and in my heart. I feel sad...

  • Good morning :-)

    Just wanted to say that you are not alone. I also lost my Mum to secondary breast cancer which spread to her liver. It's my first Mothers Day without her. I've been almost grateful for the distraction of the news as it has helped with the run up to It which I have been dreading. Are you able to get out of the house? I know everyone is self isolating and that can be difficult.  I managed to buy some of my Mums favourite spring flowers, I'm going to light a candle and arrange it with a picture of her on the table. A small gesture like this may help to honour your Mum on the day. Did she have some favourite flowers? Or a favourite song or movie? I'm not planning on doing much, will probably just potter about my flat and think of her. I was going to watch the last film we ever watched together but I'm almost in tears thinking about it so not sure I can.
     

    It is so difficult isn't it, I'm missing her so much it hurts at the moment. Let me know what you decide to do. 

     

    Katie
