I have my mom's ashes at home as well! I wanted to go to Red Lobster, since she loved that place but I would be going by myself and I think I would feel weird sitting at a table alone. Judy, of course I don't think you are silly! I want to do a lot but I guess I'm afraid of what people would think..it's a shame I let that bother me!

Jennifer, Ann and Judy - I buy my Mom flowers and presents all year long and put them on her grave - same for my dad.  On her birthday, I make it special by donating flowers to church and then taking them to her grave after church as they give whoever donated the flowers for the altar the flowers after church.  I do the same on the day they died.  I do not think it is at all silly to celebrate their birthday still.  I just wish I could still take her out to eat on her birthday like I did when she was alive - Red Lobster for my birthday and then for hers.

I think it's a great idea to honor our mothers on their birthdays whether they are here or not. I had a scotch on my mother's birthday this year, but would do more stuff for her if my dad weren't watching! He thinks I'm silly, but you know I'm not, right, Jennifer?

Jennifer, you don't sound crazy.  I have my mom's ashes at home with me.  For holidays, I buy her flowers.  I also buy her Betty Boop figurines because she loved Betty Boop.  I place the flowers and the figurines next to her ashes.  I also play her favorite music.

I know this might sound crazy but what do you do for your loved one's birthday, when they have passed..any ideas? Mom's birthday is Saturday and I'm not quite sure what to do. I'm used to having her with me so I'm kinda stuck! And should I celebrate her earth birthday or her new birthday?

K - I know how you feel.  My mom died just about 3 weeks before Christmas.  The first year was the hardest.  I remember we tried to go on.  My brother and sister-in-law gave me a present that I opened, but I was numb.  Nothing mattered at that moment.  It gets a little easier with the passing of time, but nothing has mattered as much since she left.  For all of you, I hope that now that Christmas is over that you all feel a little better.  I know for me, I never knew there could be a pain as deep as loosing my Mom.  Someone said that they wished they could pick up the phone and call her - I'd give just about anything to be able to do that.  I miss her so much.

My first Christmas without mom. She passed from cancer just shy of three weeks ago. It was a really tough day, but we made it through. I miss her so much.

Dear James,

I know exactly how you feel about your family crumbling.  My condolences and merry Christmas to you and everyone.

I feel really ashamed because this is far from my first or second christmas without my mom. i lost my mom when I was 15 and I am now 42. I don't really know why this christmas has been really extra hard for me but it has. I have not wanted to do anything. No shopping, no decorations, no nothing. Then I feel bad because of my children. They deserve a special christmas. I miss my mom so very much and I feel like the memories are fading. I just have images now. There are no conversations just images. Sometimes I would give anything to just call her on the phone and hear her voice again....

Well, actually I;m reading the comments and it seems like a lot of you are having a harder time with teh second christmas than the first one. I'm angry at myself for feeling like i dont want to go on. Im impatient at my sister for blocking out all of her emotions. I am so alone.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
