Grateful for you guys

I just want to take a moment to say I’m grateful for all of you. I had a really tough day today and have been having a hard time lately.

I thought about coming on here earlier and pouring my heart out because I felt like the people closest to me wouldn’t understand and I didn’t want to be a burden to my friends or loved ones. I didn’t end up pouring my heart out on here because I didn’t want to bring anyone else down (go figure).

However, just knowing there are people in this group who are going through the same things I am feeling and are willing to support others when they reach out was a huge comfort to me today.

Dahlia! This Is the place to share!!! Perhaps one of us can relate and help! Bottling things up is one of the reasons we get ourselves in a corner. Sending great hope!

Thank you Pearl67. Today was rough because it’s my first Mother’s Day since my mom unexpectedly died in September.

We had plans to spend today with my husband’s family to celebrate my Mother in Law but I ended up staying home and crying about missing my mom. I just couldn’t go and pretend everything was okay but I didn’t want to bring everyone down either. I isolated myself and then felt alone. I know I’ll always miss my mom but it hopefully won’t always hurt this bad. Thank you for sending me great hope!

Oh Dahlia, I am so, so sorry!!! This holiday can be verybpainful for so many and in several different scenarios!

Totally understandable that you were sad and needed some time to process and grieve! I am betting every Mother’s day will have some sorrow, but will get a bit easier. I say let your feelings go today. Let it all out!!!!! It is healing. I am sorry all I have is words. No hug. No “cure.” I send hope and hugs!
