Sad day
Just needed to get this out...
in general since my mother died 10 years ago, holidays are always a little bitter sweet. This year I have been doing okay, really focusing on good stuff, doing good stuff.
So yesterday was just so sad for me. First my cousin's aunt died. My mother only had one sister, that sister married a man who only had one sibling, she lost custody of her dd, so for holidays she was with our family. So my aunt has lost her best friend (her sis in law), less than a year ago she lost her mother, and her father and sister died, so it is just her. Anyway, makes me very sad for her. This lady apparently died on friday night, they found her yesterday, again just so sad. She was only 63. She has one child, they haven't had a great relationship, apparently this thanksgiving they were able to mend some fences via a phone call and have been emailing daily. I just feel so sad for her (she is my age..36). For the first time in her life to have a mom and she loses her way too soon. Beent here done that, and just feel her pain. Anyway, I know it is the life cycle and part of death is sad for us and we eventually move on, because we have to.
So then there are these colo shootings, I live in texas, yes it is sad, but geesh in houston we have lots of people die everyday. Well I clicked on the news story about the shooter. His father runs a big MS research facility. Well sure enough, short story, that is where we donated my mother to for research, she apparently is only one of 1100. Anyway, of all things to remind me of my mom.
Anyway, so I just went to bed so sad, and have woken up sad. I am glad I have plenty of things to do today! Or I think I might just cry all day.
Anyway, as I said, just needed to say the words to someone.
Oh Kaye, I'm so sorry you're having such a sad day. Sending you hugs your way. If I didn't have to work tonight I'd say let's meet for lunch because sounds like we both could use a friend right now. We'll have to do that soon?
Hugs to you, hope your day gets a little brighter.

It was a year this past Sunday that my mil died, she was like a mother to me, so I do know some of what you are feeling.
the grief counselor summed it up it 2 words for my ds...
"it sucks"
{{{{hugs}}} Kaye, I am so sorry you are feeling sad. When we thought we might loose my Dad last spring, I was devastated. So, I can't even imagine how hard it must be for you.
LOL collete...for the first many many mothers days my husband always bought me a sweet card and then wrote, I hope your day doesn't suck too bad!
I am a little better now. Life is just sad sometimes and that is how it is, but we can't let that stop us from living!
This can be a hard time for many people for many reasons. Sorry you had a bad few days, Kaye. I hope you feel better soon.

Hope you find some peace this holiday season.
Hugs,

(((Hugs for you Kaye)))
((((KAYE)))))
You're in my thoughts, Kaye. I know how hard this time of year must be for you.
Are you doing any better today, Kaye? Just checking in.
I'm sorry this mother and daughter didn't have much time, but it's wonderful that they reconciled before the mother died and the chance was gone.
You must have been in your mid-twenties when your mother passed? That's pretty young to lose your mother these days. I'm sorry.
(((hugs)))
I am doing better, thanks for asking.
Mlee I was 26 when my mom died, I was pregant with my youngest child. Both of her parents outlived her. Crazy world you just never know.
I am very thankful that I really was a very mature 26, I was married, having kid 3, just bought our 2nd house, etc. I had a great support system. And I was very close to my mom. So there just weren't regrets of mending that fence, we worked all that out by time I was 19.
