This a blog for all those mourning a mother. Mothers Day is a special day - a time to say thank you. But it also brings so many memories back to mind for those who have already said their goodbyes; it is a day when the loss can be keenly felt. I hope you can find a quiet moment to reflect and to bring to mind some wonderful memories. Claire Rayner, writing about grief, said this:“Only the unloved and unloving escape grief. It is the price we all have to pay, eventually, for the love that makes our lives worth living." At times, it can feel a high price...
It is indeed a difficult day, especially when the expectation is that we should have "got over it by now." Did you see the poem I emailed written by my cousin who lost her mother at the age of 21, which meant she didn't see any of her grandchildren or great-grandchildren.
