Answer 1

Hi Lori, Although You are aware I am not as young as you, I lost both my mom and dad (within 10 days of each other) just over 3 years.It must be very difficult for you and I'm sure you miss your mom a lot,especially on special occassions like today when many people are celebrating with their mom.It may seem odd for you to think of me missing my parents and I think of them often.I cope with the void it left by being thankful for each day I did have with my parents.I have made a wonderful scrapbook celebrating their life and my memories of them.You could also do something like that.Every once in a while I bring it out and oh what wonderful memories it stirs up.I feel most sad knowing that my 2 grand-daughters will have no memories of their great-grandparents My grandson knew and loved my parents..My dad only got to old my one grand-daughter on 1 day of her life and she will have only the few photos of that day.My second grand-daughter was born after they had died and her opinions of my parents will be based on other people's memories. Love is not measured by the length of time we knew someone but how we are remembered by those we leave behind.just take a moment to think about those words.I'm sure you loved your mom and even in death.The best thing you can do is try to live your life the best way you can, try to make good choices and get an education.Dare to have dreams and work towards them.Lori,your mom would want you to be happy each day ,not sad.If you can go to bed each night you have done your best each day your mom would be so proud of you. Let me also tell you something about parents,both moms and dads,we love our children,warts and all and we hope they love us in return.The best tribute you can pay to your mom is to respect your dad, live your life well and know that your mom raised you right. That ache you feel in your heart is your mom letting you know she is always with you.Now go to your dad and give him a big hug and tell him you love him.He needs to hear that too, especiallly today. Take care.

Answer 2

Who's Jillian?? Sorry to ask, but isn't Mark your brother, and obviously you and your dad, and your sister??

Well, I guess mother's day isn't easy for you. But maybe instead of being together, you should have spent some time alone, and remembered your mom by visiting her favorite places.

Just remember, as long as you can preserve her memory, you can face a day like this.

I wish you the best of luck and hope yesterday was not too hard on you.

Answer 3

Good lord, Lori, Like I said before, I can't even imagine a life without my mom. You can still mourn your mom, she was your mommy for all those years, and if she could see how you've grown into the lovely, POLITE, young woman you are now, she'd **** her pants. You can go to her gravesite and give her flowers and talk with her a bit.
I had to work all day today, so I didn't get to celebrate Mothers day. I'm bummed. But I was seriously thinking of how you were handling Mothers Day. I actually said to my co-workers that at least it's not that bad, I could be in Lori's shoes and have my mom die on me. The boys send their condolences by the way, because any friend of mine is a friend of theirs.
You can make your moms favorite meal, or try to duplicate one of her best meals and serve it to your family in rememberance of mommy. You can cry, it's not a bad thing to cry over something like this. Just make the best out of whatever you can. You're in my thoughts and take care. She loves you.

Answer 4

Try to think of all the good times you had while your mother was still with you & may that put a big smile on your face. Maybe it'd help if you spoke out loud to your mom & speak from the heart, as to how you are feeling. Planting a flower, tree, or bush in your mother's memory may help you feel less sad. :)

Answer 5

You and your siblings should go out together and have a good time. go somewhere that reminds you of your mother and honor her life by just being together. The one thing any mother wants is to see how well her kids are doing and that they stick together no matter what. I'm sure your mother was a fine lady and that she is looking down on you guys, don't be afraid to look up at the sky and tell her "happy Mother's Day" because she deserves it.

Answer 6

I lost my mom when I was 4, so it was always very sad for me when the other kids were making mom's day cards, etc... when I got older, I started bringing flowers to the nursing homes to hand out to mom's whos kids didn't come visit, just listening to them talk about their kids, etc... brightened both our days. If you lost your mom to cancer, or heart disease, or a drunk driver, try donating time to organizations preventing those things in honor of her memory. Making a special mother's day scrapbook (only to be worked on on mothers day or her birthday, etc...), where you fill it in with pictures of your life together, remembering the good times can help too.

Answer 7

My mom celebrates mother's day by making my grandmothers favorite meal for dinner...we lost her 6 years ago. Maybe you guys could make it a tradition to get together every year and do something that she would have enjoyed.

My mom also re-decorates her gravesite every mother's day and again on her birthday...new flowers new yard decorations etc. whatever is allowed where she is buried.

Answer 8

I think you should visit her with flowers and maybe visit your grandmother too if that's possible. But just know that your mom is always with you and she knows you love her and its just like spending time with her..... no I'm not crazy but i think that your mother is probably one of your angels that guide you in life and that even if you cant spend time with her on mothers day physically you can spiritually.. I wish you the best

Answer 9

Go visit her and take some flowers. If this is too upseting try going to a movie, shopping, pick a good movie and lay ont the couch read a book. Im really sorry.

Answer 10

Visit a nursing home in your area and give the lady residents flowers(a single flower). There are a lot of them who don't have family left or family that can't come in to see them. A little kindness goes a long way!!!
