Is anyone else going through lots of feelings today? My miscarriages are in the past and am finding myself really tearful today. I miss what could have been with the children I’ve lost and I haven’t been able to build a new family of my own yet. I’m estranged from my Mom and the majority of her side of the family and feeling a really big absence of mothering love and energy in my life.
I work retail and saw so many different families come in the store today, it’s been a hard day, even if it’s been nice to see how many beautiful families are together.
If anyone else is going through this and grieving quietly, I just want to let you know you’re not alone. To the mother’s with children who have passed too. I’m thinking of you 💔

That sounds like an excruciatingly painful way to spend today, I’m sorry to hear. I hope good things find you soon.
I’m sorry to hear you had such an hard day. I hope tomorrow and the Days to come are better for you ♥️
I’m currently waiting for my second miscarriage to start after getting a nonviable diagnosis on Friday. My first miscarriage was also near mother’s day. 😕
That said, it isn’t all bad. After 7 years of fertility stuff (surgeries, ivf failures), I have 2 kids. And my mom and I were in a bad spot, not speaking (and I hated her husband – they got together and married when I was well into my 20s), until I had my first kid. And it was like a flip switched, the light came on. Same with her husband. So much so that my second kid is named after my mom and I consider both her and her husband the absolute best set of grandparents (we’ve got 4 sets because both my and my husband’s parents are divorced).
So both: I get it, today is especially hard. I went thru all those years of trying, I went through my first and now my second miscarriage. And also, there can be light and hope still. It’s ok for mixed emotions. Sending a hug your way. My hope for you today is to find a moment of peace, to give yourself a little extra grace, to cry and to also smile a few times. ❤️
I lost my baby also and it’s been about 4 years. Mother’s Day is always bitter sweet for me because I can’t help but to think what if and what would we be doing today if they were here. November would’ve been their 4th birthday.
It’s a feeling that never goes away, at least for me I know it won’t but something about Mother’s Day really makes you grieve in silence.
You’re not alone, I feel a little empty today. From one angel momma to another, I’m sending you lots of love. ♥️
I lost a pregnancy close to Mother’s Day a few years back and I remember feeling like a shell of myself. I had to stay off social media to avoid triggers. The healing journey after loss is complicated. I’m so sorry you are in pain – sending a gentle hug your way.
Same boat just had one last week. Then I saw sinners last night and the end… I had to walk out because I was crying so bad. Sorry you are going through that and I feel you from the bottom of my heart
I’ve been tearful all day, too. Had a miscarriage earlier this year, and next weekend would have been my baby shower (this would have been the first grandbaby in both me and my husband’s family and my mom was super excited and started planning one right after I told her).
I was also pregnant the same time as my best friend who lives a mile up the road from me and she just had her baby girl. It’s hard.
Thanks for sharing, op, and I’m sorry you’re going through it today, too ❤️
This was supposed to be my first Mother’s Day. I had a stillbirth last year with my son and suffered a miscarriage in February. Today has been rough. I’m sorry you’re going through this too 🤍
I also don’t have the best relationship with my mom and we aren’t on speaking terms at the moment. I can relate to the emotions you’re feeling.
I was talking about that with my husband earlier. It was just weird and sad to realize where we’d be if I didn’t miscarry. I get you 💕
I am incredibly sorry. That sounds so extra stressful and heartbreaking. I hope you are able to do something nice for yourself. ❤️
You’re not alone. Had my second miscarriage last week. It was very early and less horrendous than the first but walking around today seeing a million small children was tough today
Giving you a big hug🫂
I don’t pay no mind to Mother’s Day anymore tbh. I had almost a fully pregnancy and then my baby died in my womb years ago.
I’ve known people an ex friend in particular that had 3 girls that I shared this with and told me I will have a stillbirth again. She was spiteful. So this I don’t talk about irl to anyone unless it’s my partner nor do I pay attention to Mother’s Day anymore ngl
I had a miscarriage last March so it was tough seeing all the displays and celebrations. My grocery store started preparing on friday with all the balloons and flowers right at the entrance of the store. I’m also not close with my mom, but she did that one to herself so I’m not upset about that part, just the thoughts about what could have been.
Lost my first born at 24 weeks in January and lost my mom suddenly 10 years ago. I never knew mother’s day could be even more painful as it is today
>I work retail
Oh no… I remember a period of being lonely and seeing couples while working in retail. I am sure a lot of people quit their retail jobs because of similiar reasons.
