I am new to this message board (my dad has been battling stomach cancer for over eight years now), but my heart breaks for you as you deal with the death of your mother. My mother passed away April 1, 2003 at the age of 64 due to complications from MS. That was the hardest thing I have ever been through. Even though I have two beautiful children of my own, Mother's Day is still a very difficult day for me, more than any other day of the year. I am so sorry for your loss, but I will tell you, from my own experience, it truly does get easier with time. You'll always carry the fond memories of her and she'll live on.
God bless you and yours.
