Mother's Day - for terminal mother

Hi

This must be so hard for you and your sister. I would guess ( as a mum myself) that what she will want is to be able to spend time with you both, and make memories for you two. Simple things will be appreciated, laughter, shared memories of when you were little etc. A cream tea together from a local caterer, maybe a glass of wine, and time to talk. You are not going to be able to make grand gestures, and she probably wouldnt want them anyway. The wisest words anyone said to me many years ago when my dad was diagnosed with cancer was, do what you always did with him, but more of it.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

1. So sad to hear your mum's news. Make memories that you can cherish. A day to remember with photos maybe? And a small picnic or something. Wishing you all the best for Sunday x

Thank you ownedbystaffies.  You're right, I think she would just like time with us. I just feel odd not gifting anything, as we always have done. 

I bought a Mother's Day card today. I almost had a panic attack in the store (I wasn't expecting that at all!). No card was right, Every card didn't feel special enough. And then it hit me... This will be the last Mother's Day card I will buy her. 

It's so terribly sad. I was there was something I could do to make it not so sad.

Thank you for you time. 

Take care. 

Sara. 

Thank you 123Sam .  I think you're right.  We'll probably get a takeaway and talk. 

It just feels a lot of extra pressure as we know this will be her last one.  It makes me feel sick to think about it. 

Thank you for your time to reply.

Take care. 

Sara. 

, maybe get a special notebook and write down past memories of your mum's? Events, favourite songs, poems, pictures, holidays, etc. Go through old photos and annotate them, so you know who/where/when. Things you can all share in the telling, but a record for after. (((Hugs)))
