Katherine,
This is my first Mother's Day without my beloved son Troy. He was 24, my baby. I don't think we will ever not be sad. We have lost part of us, part of our future... it's as if a piece of our heart has been yanked out. Nothing will ever be able to fill that hole.
I read in your profile that you are a nurse. I am too. Sadly, we have a few things in common. Hope you find a little peace this Sunday.
Sharon
Troy's mom
This will be my fifth year without Lesly and it seems that each year intensifies the loss around mothers day. I just haven't figured out anything that helps ease the sadness around this day. She was our only child
I'm new to this group but I've been reading the posts about how very hard Mother, and then Fathers, day is. I find that the few weeks prior to it I get increasingly emotional and anxious. What do 'you' do to get through it?
Oh how i understand -I have a a couple of cocktails every night. It's bad habit to have gotten into. But honestly, it gives me some relief for a short time. It just sucks trying to live through this. I want to try to schedule something during that "happy hour" time because by then I am lonely (my hubby doesn't get home til 8pm) and exhausted from "doing' all the things I need to do in life to feel like I am functioning. But I can't even get the energy to keep scheduling and keep doing. We all try to do the best we can today. Hugs
RJ don't beat yourself up.... just be careful... some people take meds to help, and some of us use alcohol .. I do limit myself but on a really bad day I may not limit my self as much... I'm sick of judgmental people telling us what we should and shouldn't be doing... hateful people... just be careful and try not to hurt yourself ...
Rj, I never drank more than wine with friends. Never at home alone. Since my son died, I've been having a glass of something at night... just one, but I know I shouldn't because I take the Xanax to sleep. I think we have to do what we have to do to survive the moment. If you need a drink, go for it. Moderation is the key. '
Connie, so awful. I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved son. I have flashbacks too of finding my son dead. I'm looking into EMDR. I really believe that we have PTSD. What we have been through is truly traumatic!
With Mother's day approaching, pain is horrible. I had a day off today and spent it crying.
Yes RJ, I wished we all lived in the same city too.
