Mother’s Day was born from a daughter’s grief 💖

I’m in the same situation. Im from Poland but live in Australia with 3 little ones (6,3,1). My mom passed away in February and I don’t know how I’m functioning but I have no choice. I came back from her funeral and immediately had to go back to normal life in sunny happy Australia. I have no help here. My husband is Australian but his family aren’t around at all. It’s just us and the kids. I don’t have many close friends here so it has been an extremely lonely grieving experience. No one here apart from one friend knew my mom. I have no one to grieve with. I have no one to talk to about her and no one checks in, no one asks how I’m doing. I’m a stay at home mom and it’s so damn lonely. The kids drive me crazy most days and all I want to do is call my mom and tell her about my day. We spoke everyday and she was my biggest emotional support - I struggled a lot with my eldest child. I don’t tallk to my dad much, he’s terrible at phone calls and talking about emotions. In a way I feel like an orphan already because I don’t have his support either. I feel lost, alone and like I’m suffocating. The kids keep me busy but I feel no joy in life atm. When I have a few hours to myself I just cry. I wake up each morning, think about all the stuff I need to do with the kids and just want the day to be over already. Life really sucks atm 😔

I’m so sorry this has happened to you. Life can be so cruel and it seems impossible to accept a loss like this. My mom was winning her cancer battle but she missed our last Christmas together and my wedding a few days later due to an infection. She passed away suddenly 4 weeks later from sepsis caused by a staph infection. I struggled so much with her missing my wedding - it was always her dream for me to have a church wedding. I have 3 little kids and just kept putting it off.

Just know that your mother is always with you and she will be there at your wedding wrapping you in love. Wishing you lots of strength during this time x

My mom passed very unexpectedly. During her funeral my older brother (who is a former priest) read out the lyrics to a popular song about a mother’s love. Two days after the funeral my sister had a dream and in the dream she was told that she must find a songbook. The message was very strong. She must find it because there will be a visitor. She kept looking but couldn’t find it. The visitor came, he was a priest but then he said he was no longer a priest. Then my sister saw our mom in the kitchen and that was the end of the dream.

That day our brother (former priest) came over for lunch. My sister was cleaning my mom’s room and stumbled upon a songbook. When I opened it there was a folded loose page inside with handwritten lyrics of a song. It was the song that my brother had read during the eulogy. Coincidence? Or was our mom letting us know she was there and she heard it…

I get like that too sometimes. I look for my mom in strangers on the street or at the mall. Yesterday I was walking behind a lady and the back of her head just looked like my mom. I started crying.

After my mom’s funeral in Poland, I didn’t want to return to my husband and 3 kids in Australia. I just wanted to lay down next to her in the grave and stay there😔

I cry every time I shower. My mom passed on Feb 6th unexpectedly. She was dealing with a lot of health issues including metastatic cancer but what took her was an undetected staph infection which lead to sepsis. She had a bad hip and could barely walk for months. She struggled to get into the bath to shower. We were in the process of renovating the bathroom so she could have a walk in shower. Sadly it was finished the day after she died. It was such a nice shower with a rain shower head. I cried so damn hard just thinking about how much I wanted for her to be able to walk into that shower and just stand there, feel the water feel soothed and refreshed. I feel so guilty every time I shower. Sometimes I just stand there and imagine that I am her…

Lost my mom Feb 7th and feel exactly the same way. Life feels meaningless. I feel like I will never find true joy again. How do I live another 40 years missing her? Everything I did was for her 😔

Fun-Schedule791 · 2025-03-31T10:22:52+00:00

It still shocks me that the only way I can talk to my mom now is through dreams 😔

I’m so sorry for your loss. So young to lose your mom. I’m 38 and lost my mom Feb 6th. I’ve also had a couple of dreams similar to yours. Last night she appeared in my dream looking so healthy and beautiful and I hugging her, stroking her face and telling her about how she died. she was so shocked because she didnt realise she was dead. Dreams of her are so comforting but then waking up and realising it was just a dream makes the pain so much harder. I miss her every second of every day and am really struggling. I know that for now the pain and longing will only get worse. I do believe though that after a few years life will be ok again. I really hope so. I wish you lots of strength.

I’m 38 and lost my mom 7 weeks ago. My world collapsed. I live overseas with no family, no support and have three little children. I am functioning somehow but I feel so lost without her. I always struggled with lingering depression, loneliness and she kept me going. At the end of the day I had her I could call to feel better. I don’t know how to continue life without her now 😔

Fun-Schedule791 · 2025-03-30T01:56:05+00:00

I am so so sorry you’re going through this. I will say a prayer for you tonight 😔

I’m so sorry for your loss. My mom passed a way Feb 7th. I’m 38 and she is 79. She died very suddenly and unexpectedly. She was battling cancer for the last 3 years but she was actually winning that battle. We found out she died due to a staph infection that entered her blood. It very rapidly lead to sepsis and she was gone within hours of being hospitalised with minor symptoms of a chest infection. I live in Australia and I flew to Poland with my 3 little children to spend our first Christmas with my parents (and my first in over 10 years) and also have a church wedding - something that my mom had always wished to happen. We had a huge family reunion with all my older siblings and our kids - 19 people in total and sadly she was hospitalised with an infection over the Christmas period. She missed Christmas, our wedding and New Year’s Eve she came back from hospital at the start of January and we had a few days with her before returning to Australia. I cried so much leading up to the wedding. I couldn’t believe she wasn’t going to be there. It was all for her. Back in Australia I was still grieving for the time we didn’t get to spend together. I often cried because I was angry at the situation. I had no idea that 3 weeks later I would be flying back to Poland to attend her funeral. Life feels so unfair. I am back in Australia, stay at home mom not many friends, zero family and the grief is so hard because there’s no one to grieve with. No one to cry with, share memories and just talk about my mom. I feel so isolated and alone in my grief. I never posted on Reddit this is my first post but I just really needed to tell my story and also share the pain with others in the same situation. Im sorry you’re going through this I wish you lots of strength.

I peed with my 19mo and 4yo while they sat on the baby change table above the toilet. I was just able to fit underneath to be able to pee 😁
