anyone on my timeline that lost their mother relatively young, is there any way in particular you'd want other people to act towards you on mother's day? My daughter's best friends mother passed two years ago

says
(almost exactly two years), the day before her 17th birthday. It's just such a rough time of year. I sent her a card, and a gift for her birthday, and have been talking to her, just telling her I'm thinking

of her. But last night she started texting my daughter, very upset and depressed, and I'm at a loss as to what to say other than that I love her. Her mother (my friend) was an amazing woman, and I miss her

every day. I want to make it hurt less for her dear sweet girl. I know I can't. It's just breaking my heart
My mum died when I was 19 (6 years ago yesterday) and I pretend Mother's Day never happens for us in march
Renee Harvy
says
yeah. She's away at school. I hope she can ignore it to some extent. She didn't mention it when she was talking about being depressed. Just that she was sad and lonely.
Yeah the lonely thing is the hard part. Especially when it comes to graduations, big important events that you really want / need her there.. That was the most difficult part for me
Renee Harvy
says
right. Their high school graduation was brutal. She'd been gone just over a year and we all felt the void so much. I can't imagine what it must have been like for her daughter.
This made me think about Father's Day. My dad lost his dad when he was like 15, and my childhood best friend lost her dad (she's 24) last year.
My dad also last his mom a few years ago, though I guess that's somewhat more normal than younger. I'm scared about when the time comes with my other grandmother. She's practically a second mom to me
