Mother’s Day 😢

[Sharonl75]

Hi All

I’m dreading mother’s day☹️. How are you feeling?? It’s so hard when everyone is focused on mothers and I feel like I’m made a lesser woman because I’m not a mother. Like I haven’t made the grade to get in this club and I’m excluded. Left watching outside in the cold while everyone else is inside in the warm having a great time. I’m just not on the guest list-no matter how hard I try and persuade them I should be.

I’m also dreading it as my dad passed away last mother’s day so it’s doubly sad. I miss him so much. I know it’s not the date anniversary of his death but we’ve got that to come too so makes me even more sad. He was an amazing man, my inspiration, my rock, confidante, shoulder to cry on and voice of reason.

It’s been such a trying year and I’d really hoped that this mother’s day I could celebrate being pregnant and look forward to being a mummy . Sadly it’s not to be. I’ve copied this article which may help us ladies. Wishing you all strength to get through the weekend. Xxx

Hi Sharon, i’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I can understand how missing him will make this mother’s day more difficult for you. I’m dreading it too, plus I started a new job this week and have had lots of questions about whether or not I have children. My lovely wee nephew FaceTimed me last night to show me the mother’s day gift he’d made my sister at school that day and I couldn’t help myself and burst into tears. I felt awful about scaring him. My father also wants us all to go out for dinner on Sunday, don’t know if I can face it. I’ll be thinking of you and all the other women and their partners on here. Thank you for sharing the beautiful article Dxx
