Today is not a good day for me. Mother's birthday

[Mrsjackson0406]

Hi ladies, I lost my mother 26 years ago to a drunk driver. Today is her birthday and it makes me so sad.i also turned 37 weeks today. On her birthday or the day she was killed I get really depressed and don't want to do anything. Hopefully my unborn son can change that, but I doubt it since my husband and 7 year old could not. I am thankful that my husband forces me to visit her grave and buys a birthday cake in honor of her.

I lost my brother to leukemia 3 years ago....and it is always hard around this time year. I think it's harder for us too because of our hormones. I just tried to focus on the memories and his craziness and that makes me laugh. I'm also 37 weeks and the thought of my brother never meeting my son is so sad to me. But I'm hoping he has some of his qualities! Hang in there we will all get thru this

Thank you ladies. I think it makes it worse for me because I was only 4 when I lost her so I do not really have any memory of her. I wish I did have some type of memory because I feel it would make me feel better.thoae of you going through similar situations, I hope you guys get through it as well. I know I need to do something in her honor so I can get over the sadness on this day. You would think after 26 years, I would have gotten over the sadness on this day.

I get super depressed in the month of May! It's my mom's birthday and she passed that month and also Mother's Day so with all 3 combined I get super depressed and sad! I lost her in 2002 when I was 12 now 25. Just knowing that she's watching over me always makes me feel a little bit better and my husband being around me to support me helps a lot. I hope everything is good with you today. Stay strong mama :)

Mrs. Jackson,  this might be time for you to think of another way to grieve for your mother.  I'm sure your mother wouldn't want your life to be this unhappy.

I wonder if you could start some kind of a mission in your mother's honor,  some kind of a project that will bring a positive feeling to her memory?  Like,  if she really liked reading to you set up a service at the library where grandmothers read to kids,  etc.  Something to honor her.

Best wishes.

Goodness gracious. Just cried for both of you. I'm 36 weeks and this is all so much to handle without either of your situations. Just passed the anniversary of my dad's passing at the end of last month, and that took me out for three days, couldn't stop crying, slept most of those three days, hubby tried to pull me out of it but i was just too distraught, and he's been gone for 8 years already and still I'm feeling so much emotion still. And 12, nearly 13 years ago, my partner got himself thrown in prison when i was 8 months pregnant, so i ended up single momming it for 11 years, and now I'm married and baby on the way and my daughter finally has someone who's filling that place as a dad and I've got a precious new stepson. Hang in there, beautiful mommas. Sorrow is inevitable, but we are strong, you will make it through. Nothing wrong with tears, they're healthy. Let yourself mourn and let the sunshine back in when you're ready. Life is still so very beautiful even at its darkest and most devastating. Never lose hope, never stop being grateful.

Thank you do much for your words of encouragement. I am trying my best. I have not even gotten out of bed yet. I hope you are doing ok. I cannot imagine going through a divorce pregnant. Keep your head up.i am sure your little one will bring so much joy to you once he or she is born. When are you due? I am due 12/27

I know I don't know you but maybe keep in mind that your mother is with you always and would probably want you to be happy. You have made a beautiful family and I'm sure she is so proud of you. I'm also 37 weeks pregnant and I'm all alone. My husband left me after he got me pregnant and got locked up. Now we are getting divorced.  You are very fortunate girl. And I have learned to consider myself very fortunate as well. Just always remember, she would want you to be happy for your family and that baby.
