Little Quiet Words for a Special Day
So today is International Bereaved Mother's Day (was called International Babyloss Mother's Day). A special day for mums who can't share it with their children, like me.
I never expect any rough little handmade cards with the scrawled words of a child on them telling me how much they love me. No serviced station flowers that Daddy has to hastily buy because 'he forgot'. No chocolates, no breakfast in bed.
I have never experienced any of these things only intense loss and the utter feeling of loneliness no matter how many people are around you.
That is my reality and my life at the moment. To simply miss my children and feel that pain in my heart when I look around and see, one by one, my friends have their own children and distance themselves from me, after all we no longer have anything in common, we can't even share the same Mother's Day.
Hurt, and pain and loneliness yet an undeniable, unfaltering solid strength and determination to carry on.
