Really Missing My Mother (Holidays, Pregnancy, and Emotions)
By GypsyTasya » Posted Nov. 9, 2011 11:44am - 205 views - 4 comments
With the Holidays coming, I am getting more and more emotional. My moods are all over the place this week. I'm trying to figure out how to balance this out so I don't get myself too worked-up. But, it's harder b/c I'm REALLY missing my mother. I lost her this year in mid-January. She was sick at the beginning of December all through Christmas. I spent last Christmas with her in intensive care. This time last year, I spoke to her everyday on the phone and we were making plans for Thanksgiving.
I lost my dad in 2002 and have no siblings. So, losing my mom has been unbelievable hard. Plus, I never had any children or was pregnant before while she was still alive. Ugh, I wish so much that she was still around. I guess maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself. :(

| Comment from dmpage » Posted Nov. 10, 2011 9:21am I can't imagine either! So sorry. I agree...make sure you have a Christmas ornament with her picture in it too so baby can always put "Grandma"'s special ornament up. She is still with you...I do believe that as well. Hang tight...these hormones are making us MORE emotional during this time. |

 | Comment from jkg9510 » Posted Nov. 10, 2011 8:32am She is still with you. I can't imagine the sadness and emptiness you're feeling (I'm a total Momma's girl too). Maybe start a holiday tradition in her honor that you and your new child can carry on for years to come. |
