Mother’s Day, I’m still just getting over the after affects of that day. Mother’s Day has never been a day that I’ve celebrated much in my life, my own mother gave me up when I was just a kid, and ever since I lost my own son the day has become more of a day of anguish than that of celebration. It’s very difficult, listening to what other people are doing that day, having dinner with mom, getting mother’s day cards from their kids and the hallmark commericals played on high rotation do nothing but make us feel more isolated. It’s an incredibly, incredibly painful day.

This mother’s day I decided to round up some other mom’s who’ve lost children to get together, share our pain, read poetry, cry, eat cake and most importantly – not be alone.

Here are some pictures of yesterday:

Since Hallmark doesn't make mother's day cards for mom's who've lost their children, I made my own. This is one of them.

Here are some of the mom's speaking (i'm the one in the white hat):

 

Hi Wendy, thanks for visiting my journal.. I really appreciate you coming by.. Your comment didn't show up straight away because I have been protecting my journal from spammers and some.. ((sigh))But it is there now.. some friends.. try over and over to send comments LOL and I have told them why they don't show up straight away..

Anyhow I think it is a really good idea that you had to help other mother's whom for them Mother's Day is difficult.. You have a big heart dear girl.. and it shows!! I know that you caring for them would have made thier Mother's Days so special...

love from Sharon

I see your tag board has been spammed, I had to take mine down - bad, bad, bad.

Anyways - sorry you couldn't have a happy mothers day and you're right - no mother should be left behind on mothers day. Though you have lost your child, your childs cells are in your body and will be there until you die, so you can never forget and you will always be mother no matter what. But did you know that when you get sick those cells work to make you better, isn't that neat - I learned that from NPR. Give Hallmark Hell

I think that's a great idea of yours. My mother doesn't believe in Mother's Day (because of the commercialism etc) so it's not celebrated in my family.

Hi Wendy! Thanks for stopping by and sharing this with me. My mother left when I was a year old so Mother's Day was nothing special to me until I had my own child. But this year, with my daughter going through her "teen angst" and leaving was the hardest that I've ever dealt with. I'm glad that you had other people to share it with you, so you weren't alone.

That was really touching and it made me kind of sad. I grew up in foster care too so I can relate, except that I haven't had any children and I don't plan too. I'm really sorry about your loss, though. I know it hurts so bad to lose someone you love.

I just wanted to say that I'm glad I found your site.

I was being so self-indulgent I didn't realise that you were going through this on Mother's Day and every other day. Although I can't claim to fully understand the extent of your pain, thank you for doing this for the mothers who do. what you're doing is great!

Thank you for the comment...

You are very brave and so thoughtful for making sure that mothers like you were not forgotten this mothers day...

You look like a damn frog.. No wonder your mom left you and you lost your son.

Wendy, I wish I could have been with the two of you on that day. I never subscibed to Hallmark concepts of motherhood either, and I commend you for honoring the activist origins of the holiday, and reaching through your pain into social action. With love and admiration...
