Bereavement
Related: About this forumThis day has sucked.
I bought the good kleenex BTW last week.
I have talked to my siblings, they are taking care of them selves.
My ex wife, who I talk to many times a week, and I would have had children with, her mother my X Mother in Law is 92 & is slowing down.
Sigh.
This is a difficult day

I am grateful for the many and wonderful gifts she left me with.

(1,831 posts)Mothers Day without my Mom. Spent it with stepson and stepdaughter who lost their Mom 19 years ago. I have been their stepmother for 47 years and love em to death.
We managed to tell funny stories and shared great memories.
Grief - the price we pay for loving.
