As my Moms birthday is just a few days away and seeing as how she is not on this earth with me I'm having a bit of a hard time (AGAIN).. Thanks so much for all of the support you all have given me .. Trying so hard not to slide back into that nasty side of depression ..

My Mother would not let us get depressed at anything****
she would say if your sad do something happy ***
if your missing someone go see someone else etc etc ****so i keep very busy and pray hard hugs Carolyn from Canada

Thank you Carolyn..

I wish I could say it gets easier... it does a little after 20 or so years. I do not know how old you are, I am hoping you are middle aged. At least then it is somewhat comprehensible. Distraction is your best friend on these days, even if you have to plan ahead. My suggestion call and make plans with a friend and keep your body moving. Dancing works wonders.

Thank you.

I know it's hard but you are aware and working to stay healthy. How about setting up a special project for a charity you and your mom enjoy supporting. It could be stitching or just donating money, but it is a way to honor her memory and put smiles on faces and a special joy in your heart. Don't hesitate to talk to us. We always have hugs and words of support for our fellow Cuties.

Always a difficult time...I lost my Mom earlier this year and decided to celebrate her birthday by remembering all the wonderful times we had together...

Sorry for your loss...

Celebrate her life and be happy that you have lots of wonderful memories of her I know how you feel but your mom would not want you to be unhappy

True, thank you

We set a dinner plate for my parents on their "special" day in remembrance.

Thank you for another good idea.

Write her a little note and thank her for all the wonderful things she taught you. She is still very much with you, just in a different way now. It might even be your tradition on her birthday. Also, go spoil someone you love!
