First year without mom on Mother's Day!

[Denise, loving daughter of Angel Charlotte]

Mother's Day is quickly approaching and I just lost my mother 8 month's ago! Boy, am I dreading this day! I am a mother myself and need to be here for my son. But, I really want to leave and go somewhere alone. Then again, I am scared to be alone! What do I do? I have already asked off work the following Monday after Mother's Day. All of the past holidays have been hard enough....I am not sure how much more I can take!

Any ideas, support, words of advice?

Denise,
My heart hurts for you also on the first Mother's Day without having a Mom.
I am right there with you and relate to how you are feeling.
Hospice was sent in for My Mom on last Mother's Day and she left us 5 day's later. I am not quite sure either on how to deal with this one. I am depressed and actually scared,...but naturally relieved that Mom's pain is over. And it just seems that everywhere you turn and everything you see and hear over the last week is related to "Mother's Day". I can not take it! I don't know how to deal with it,.....I want to run away, I want to cry, I want to celebrate her life and all that she has left behind. Very mixed emotion's is the only way to discribe it. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and we CAN get through Sunday,....because our Mother's Charlotte & Catherine raised strong women and all thier wisdom & love will live on forever!
Hang In There And I Will Be Thinking Of You, ~ Patti ~
