I hope everyone had a good Christmas despite missing our mom's. My mom always loved Christmas as many of you mentioned. We would gather Christmas eve for our celebration. We have done that all of the years I have been alive. This Christmas Eve I was at home alone although I was invited to spend the evening with others. I did spend sunday with family. I have felt numb the past few days. One year ago today was the last time I had a conversation with my mom. The last time she was able to communicate with others as her body was shutting down. There was nothing we could do anymore. I knew something was wrong, I kept asking her if she wanted to go to the doctor/hospital, she told me no, that she just needed to rest. She died 2 days late. I just have such a hard time comprehending that it has been a whole year.
these past few days have been challenging; christmas eve was always my Mom's favorite. So, I mixed things up a bit and got out of the house; although my BF invited me to their family dinner, that was the kind of setting that would only make me dwell on the fact that Mom was no longer here. So, I visited those friends, then invited 3 other close friends out to dinner, then we went to church. Somehow, I got through it w/out losing it, but there were a few moments. Particularly during the sermon when the priest spoke about "others who made Christmas special who are no longer with us..." ugggg. But, the larger point was that as generations pass on it's up to the current one to make XMas special for others...which I think is true. XMas day seemed more routine somehow, as I had dinner at a friend's home. Getting out and about seemed to help. But, I missed Mom terribly, nonetheless.
Merry Christmas everyone! I just want people on here to know that I'm still thinking of them even though I'm not on this site as much as I used to be. The anniversary of my mom's death is the 27th so its like a double whammy because my mom always had a tree and gifts for us on Christmas and its hard knowing I can't talk to her.
I thought I could just ''skip'' Christmas eve, treat it like any other night, but it was awful. Maybe it's the feeling that a lot of people were celebrating, with all their loved ones, their world is the same, they don't know this sadness.
Thanks Dia.
Merry Christmas. I woke up not knowing what to feel today. I miss her so much and I know each of you feel the same way. I am thankful she is no longer in pain and even though she is not here physically she is always with us in spirit. Today will be difficult because Christmas was my moms favorite and she was always the first person I called in the morning. I pray I find the strength to stay strong for my daughter who is 13. My mom would want me to make her day special. I hope everyone finds a way to get through the day. Thank you for being here for me and I am here for all of you.
I wish my mom was here to spend Christmas with, but she always told me Christmas is every day....I need to remember that, and she is happy where she is right now....I just miss spending time with her....my husband isnt here either, but I am talking to my family, that helps, and my sister sent me flowers....i will come back often guys, thanks for the support!!
