It's Been a Year
Sunday has been a difficult day, the first anniversary of my mother’s death. Bebo and I went out to the cemetery this morning, but then she had a family thing she had to attend so I spent the day alone. Mother has constantly been on my mind, flashbacks to her last day. I would have thought that after a year the ache would ease, but it hasn’t. My mother was so much a part of my life, my support in times of need. We were very close. Now I start my second year without her and I can only hope that it’s better than the last. Thanks for putting up with my bit of self-pity, you are true friends.

I know it sounds cliched, but it does get easier as time goes on. And you've survived the first year, always the hardest.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hugs.
*hugs*
She was a major part of your life - you lived with her and cared for her, for goodness sake. Stop beating yourself up.
The coming year *should* be easier. Remember you've not exactly been well either, and so your resistance would be low.
The first year is always the most difficult, and anniversaries are always hard. The second year should be slightly easier. Hopefully, the flashbacks will become memories that make you smile instead of cry.
Sending lots of cyber hugs.

It will get easier.
Love to you. It's so hard, and all we can do is love you through it.
Your mom was such a big part of your life I think it wouldn't be normal not to feel her loss as deeply as you do. It will take time but it will get easier.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
*hugs*
*Hugs* I envy you your closeness. Gradually, very gradually, one can smile instead of cry when remembering. I hope you have more smiles than tears this year. :-)
The first year is the hardest. I can't believe it's been a year. (((Bailey)))
Watched "The Great Raid" Sunday night and really enjoyed it.
Oh, my, a year already?
HUGS to you Bailey!
Can never have enough hugs when you are feeling such poignant emotions.
We're here for you!
And I"m sure she's watching over you.
I can't imagine how much you must miss her, Bailey. I'm a day late and wish I wasn't. Huge hugs.
For me when I lost my dad, it was the 6 months- year, year and a half that were actually the hardest for me. As others have said, it will get easier. Just remember too that your mom would want you to take care of yourself and to get through this and to remember the good times.
Hugs sweety. The first anniversary is the worst. Hurts the most. After that mine have always become more bittersweet. But you know all that. I hope she's in a better place now watching out for her baby.
I know where you're at. I go through the same thing every June 1st. It was my dad's last day.
(((hugs)))
