Malc, so many of us understand EXACTLY what you are going through.
Raise a glass to your Mum!
I am sure she would appreciate it.
Your pain is still very raw; it does (really it does) ease with time, but you will never stop missing her.
No-one in your life will ever know you as well as she did.
After thirty-four years without my Mum, I still miss her virtually every day - she died four years after my Dad, so I can sympathise with you. She would have been 103 now.
I think a plant in memory of your Mum somewhere in your house or garden might help. Try and imagine which one she would like.

I am in the same boat as you Malc...Mum died just after Easter last year. That is why I started my thread...could not buy a card & give to her.
I have brought a lovely basket & planted it with Spring flowers, as I have always done, it stands just outside my back door. I believe that she knows it is my gift to her.

my oh buys flowers and lights candle next to them Malc xx

Malc, i am sending you my love 'cos you are a special person and if you want to get plastered do it, not that I approve but if it dulls the pain why not

Oooh Malc, I feel your pain,
and go with Scooby's plan,
But get something for your mam, apart from a hangover, even though she would understand!!!

I'm glad Mother's day is early this year it doesn't make it easier but usually it's about the same as St. Patrick's day, 17th March and Mum's bithday was the l8th, it won't be any easier this year, 10 years, but I won't have the same double distress. I keep a small red rose (silk) in a bud vase next to Mum's photo.Thinking of you Malc and everyone else with love.

Malc why not take a bunch of flowers to your local church im sure they would under stand how you feel!! and would be only to happy to help.Love Jean.

Thinking of you Malc, and as others have said know exactly how you feel. I have a photo of mum and dad, and on occasions ie. birthdays, place flower and light a scented candle. I have been known to talk to the photos too, but only when I am alone in the house, silly me, but I like to tell my mum how my life is going. Miss her loads.

Im sending you all my love Malc, you are a rare man, one with compassion and love in his heart, your lovely Mum knew that and carried that with her from the day you were born......

Hi Malc

If you have a garden you could plant a rosebush in her memory as others have suggested.

Another idea is what my dad did when my nana went. He bought a wooden garden seat and had a brass plaque put on it dedicating it to her.

You could then place it near the rose so that you could sit there often. Make it your special "Thinking of Mum Place".
