Saw stuff for mothers day today but no mum to buy it for.

It hurts a bit

Why don't you buy her some flowers and keep them at your house? You might feel better knowing you've got her something. A relative of mine does this and finds comfort in it although I know it may be too soon for you. Take care.

Looked Malc you will always have a mum ....but she is in a different place .

take her some flowers and give her a smile
(((((hugs)))))))))

take care XXX

Helen I do that every 26th Jan and Nov for my nanny

Malc

You could always buy a single rose and put it in front of a picture of your Mum.

I bet she would know you have done that for her.

I know Malc

My Mum died 25 years ago but it still hurts on Mothering Sunday.

I might pick a few primroses and put them in a tiny vase. I used to go out and pick her a few when I was little.

I can't for my nanna as she didn't like cut flowers. She liked them in the garden.!

Hugs to all of you who no longer have your mothers.

How about buying a rose bush.....I got one for my Father called....Remember Me... and planted it when he died.....amazing how much one ( me ) talks to it in passing....you should be able to get one from any garden centre......a beautiful rose.

Oh Malc, I know exactly how you're feeling, you have my sympathy and understanding. I was just saying to someone earlier on, I wish the telly and papers weren't shoving Mothers' Day in our faces all the time, it really hurts those of us who miss our Mums.

I will be taking some flowers to the crem on Sunday and I've made a little Mothers' Day card to go with them. I think the idea of putting a rose by her picture is a lovely one.

Malc...know how you feel babe...only it's father's day I actually dread. To make things worse March 13 would be my Dad's 77th birthday and it's those days that are the hardest. Then again it can hit you at the oddest times. My dad will be gone 14 years this August when he passed a dear friend came up to me and said "I could say it'll get better but you won't believe that but I will say it'll get different and easier to deal with". Never forgot her words. Do what you need to do to make yourself happy on those occasions as they come.

I always have cut flowers or a plant in the house for birthdays, anniversary's, passings and special days and holidays. They are put beside a photograph of my departed loved one.

I put a holly wreath on the grave of my parents and grandparents at Christmas but very rarely do I put flowers on a grave.

Malc, my beloved Mum died 32 years ago and I have out-lived her which is really weird. Mothers' Day doesn't bother me but at Christmas I always think of French Flowers bath cubes that I used to buy her. Wonder if she really liked them!!

She doesn't have a grave but she loved flowers so I try to keep my garden nice.

Some lovely ideas here to help you through Malc, and you could start a little tradition of getting the flowers and having them at home. I do that as it is sometimes difficult to get to the cemetery on my daughter's special days and my parent's anniversary when their names are in the Book of Remembrance, so I have the flowers here and they cheer me.

Malc

I know its hard hun, not sure if you have a garden but how about buying a rose for her to plant in your garden as a little memorial of her.

I have a rose that my mum bought for my dad after he died and one I bought after my mum died they bring me comfort as I look at it and remember the good times and know they loved me so much as I do them.

((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) to all who have lost their mums

Malc..................I thought of you this morning when I saw a rose bush called Mum in a Million in our local garden centre.

In our tiny garden we have a rose planted in memory of my Nan and my Dad.

They are beautiful and a way of remembering them with a smile.

thinking of you malc xx

Malc it is hard and the first is the worst. Unfortunately it is always hard. As you can see, you are not alone, I would love to be able to send a card to my Mum, she died in 1994. She would have been 100 on the 6th March.
