Anyone else sad about Mother's Day? A support group thread.

[Mishetta]

Well, I have been blessed (not that I always feel that way though) with 2 boys BUT this is my second Mother's Day with my Mom in heaven after a year long battle with cancer. I miss her soooooo much.

Last year I went to the card shop to buy my MIL a Mother's Day card & I just stood there in the middle of the aisle & cried my eyes out. I didn't want to buy my MIL a card, I wanted to buy one for MY Mom. Anyway, this year my DH went to buy the card for his Mom so I didn't have to face that pain again!

It's still going to be painful but I do feel that it is a bit less painful than last year. Hopefully each year will be a thimble full less painful than the year before!

to all of us that feel a great loss on this upcoming Mother's Day.

This will probably be the hardest Mother's Day for me. I found out earlier this week that I am pregnant (complete surprise - many m/c and one sweet, 2 yo son). Found out today...my baby won't make it. I expect to start miscarrying this newest angel this weekend.

I thank God every minute for my son....and I know I went through the previous m/c because God was getting the perfect child for me. I will have to keep reminding myself of that as I face this newest struggle.

This is the 2nd Mothers Day since we lost our only child, a son who was 22 years old. I lost my dear mother exactly 17 days later at the age 87. The doctors said my mothers heart gave out and I truly believe she did not want to live any longer. To tell the truth I didn't want to live any longer either.

I am better now but lets just say that it took awhile to get my mind back and it took even longer for my dear husband to get his wife back. Thank goodness I found a great therapist to help with the grief. It was unbarable for awhile.

To all of those who have loved and lost whether its children or mothers please know that you are not alone. (((hugs))) to all.

I just hope and pray that I can get through this Mothers Day without crying and causing my husband more worry. He has always been supportive but it bothers him immensely that he cannot fix "the problem".

Oh no......I knew your test was recent and was waiting on the other thread for the update. I am so sorry. DH says the same thing to me when I ask why my babies "left me". He says they just weren't "the ones". It's hard to accept since I was perfectly happy with them. I'm so sorry you have to go through this over this weekend....of all the weekends, it has to be this one.

Sounds like a great plan to me! And to you that things go well. I'm having some female surgery next week in NYC and then can start back on the protocals. Also, we're finalizing adoption certification so we can start looking for our daughter/son to be to adopt.

Good luck with everything. Maybe you'll get lucky in both areas.

Growing up I wanted nothing more than to be a mother. But that was not to be. I had 2 miscarriages and then a hysterectomy at age 34. I have been married now for 36 years. Adoption was not the answer for us. Now, this will be my 2nd mother's day without my mom. It is even harder now without her. At least I had her to celebrate the day for. Now I feel I have no reason for the day. I also understand about the card buying for my MIL. Last year I just went in and picked up any card. This year I was at lease able to read them but it is not easy.

I'm another one who thinks of the day as part sad since I haven't been able to have a child of my own yet. Monday I will find out if there is even the slightest hope of me having one of my own.
