Mothers Day Celebrations After The Loss Of Your Mother
By Jane Kliperrs
The loss of a mother is difficult, and if it occurs close to
Mothers Day celebrations, then it is especially difficult to cope
with emotionally. While friends can be supportive, they will be
planning to buy Mother’s Day gifts for their own mothers, and
hearing of what they’ve chosen can leave you feeling a great sense
of loss.
All the stores will be filled with ideas for gifts for mothers,
and even shopping during this time can be painful. Rather than
avoiding celebrations or anything related to this one day, it
is a time for you to reflect upon your own mother’s life and all
that she did that was good.
Honor Your Mother And Reflect Upon Happy Memories
Remembering your mother and honoring her after her death can
be difficult with all the Mothers Day celebrations that surround
you. The first Mother’s Day without your mother is usually
the most difficult one, but you can review your options and ease
your grief by visiting her grave and sitting and talking to her
for a period of time.
Also you can keep this Mothers Day special by attending a church
service or even going someplace quiet to sit and reflect upon
all the things that your mother did for you and focus on all the
special memories that you have of her.
Make A Donation In Memory Of Your Mother
Mother’s day celebrations can still be spent giving Mother’s
Day gifts, but the recipient will be someone else. Consider making
a donation in her memory to an organization that she always supported,
or to a group that represents the values that she held.
If you do not have the money for that gesture, you could instead
volunteer your time at such an organization, and spend the day
helping out others who could benefit from your actions.
Doing Something Your Mum Taught You
You can also skip all the commercial Mother’s Day celebrations
and instead choose to spend the day honoring your mother’s memory
by doing something that she taught you or that she enjoyed.
For example, if she taught you how to play an instrument, then
you could spend some time playing some music that she might have
enjoyed. If she was instrumental in developing a love for cooking
in you, then preparing a lavish meal might be a Mothers Day gift
that you could pass on to someone else, while at the same time
remembering your own mother.
Make It A Joyous Occasion
When the woman who gave birth to you is no longer around, Mothers
Day celebrations become a time of reflection. If you are married
and your spouse’s mother is still alive, then you can still make
Mothers Day special for her.
But even if not, this is a day that can be spent remembering
your mother and what she meant to you and how she shaped you into
the person you are today. This may not be a joyous occasion for
you, but it can certainly be bittersweet.
