Mothers' Day after loss

[kateo]

I got a gorgeous necklace from my little Ellen via my lovely hubby last year. He got a card with a blue wren (which we have seen here since our Ellen left) and he wrote "you will always be Ellen's mum". I was so stressed he wouldn't remember and he went to heaps of trouble. This year he asked what I wanted and I said a magazine subscription that I had planned to buy myself last year as a "baby arrival gift". I'm only just ready to get that mag now. He sent me an email saying he'd organised it today.
He'll be away racing this week-end but he has checked about a million times that it's OK. I would rather he was home but he's gotta have a life. I am planning a video doona day on Sunday I hope.........

I hate Mothers day too.. Last year though I spent the day with another Mum who had lost her twin girls about 10 days before me in a really similar situation (scarily similar, her bubs were 24wks and survived for 11 and 12 days.) I took my scrap books up to her place and we shared pics and stories. It was a nice day. I felt like a normal Mum talking about her children.. This year, I'm on call for work. I hate it too because my Mum lives so far away so I can't even see her. Mothers day sux.

The sad thing is I dont think I can ever enjoy mothers day again. DH got me a card from him, my 3yo and Sophie and that was a nice touch. We visited her at the cemetery. I'm so glad I didnt work on Monday as I didnt want any questions about what I did on mothers day. Looking on my FB i noticed a lot of baby loss mums did the same thing. So sad there are so many of us missing our little ones.
