For those of you who found this year's Mother's Day to be difficult: How are you doing now? What has helped you? For me, I've found over the years that I just have to get past the day itself. I spent the day alone (not sure I recommend that! It just works that way for me.) I've found that I simply have times when waves of sadness roll over me; if I simply acknowedge my feelings and wait for the wave to recede I do best. (I just try not to fly off the handle while I'm in the midst of the emotions.) It helps knowing that I will not feel this way always! I also try to remember that God is still in control -- and I don't have to be!

That makes sense to me, Jenna. As I think I've said other places, I find it's more difficult now that it was before I reunited with D. (Of course, my mom is a big piece of it... not only because of her death, but because she never quite forgave me for placing HER grandchild for adoption. And of course, she died before I found him.) It is however, much easier to think about after the day is actually past. I'm glad the two weeks have been productive for you.
