I had my mom for almost 92 years. These holidays are so hard. I would love to hear from anyone that can advise how to get through them. Having my mom for 48 years of my life, this has been a very difficult time for me, my 87 year old father, and my husband who loved my mom very much.
I am also having a hard time getting through the holidays without my mother she was 94 when she died a few months ago from Alz. My father died years ago at 63 of lung cancer and have a family husband and daughter , but it is the feeling that you are know bodys kid anymore that is what is hard for me . You pass by the cards and can't buy that this year she is gone and those cookies that mom liked so much she is not there . Oh, I know I am going through only the motions of Christmas .
It is tuff on us . I am doing the best we can and think of all those christmas that we had together and all the good times , that is what I am doing and looking at old photos .
I understand how you feel especially about the pictures. It helps me to see my mom since this is the only way I can see her now. I miss the hugs and kissing her on the cheek. I try to remind myself that what I am feeling is normal, but this Holiday Season is numb. I truly feel for you. Take care, and realize your mom was fortunate to have you as a daughter, and I am sure you were fortunate to have a mom for such a long time.
