Surviving Mother’s Day alone
Welcome back to another blog. Today I’ll be sharing with you some of my suggestions on how to survive Mother’s Day alone. So if you are looking for some support and advice right now then please keep reading and I hope that some of the suggestions below might just help you.
Sending love
Firstly I’d like to open this blog, by sending my sincere condolences to anyone spending Mother’s Day alone this year. If you have lost someone close to you, whether that be your mother, or a child or someone else close to you then I am so desperately sorry for your loss. I hope that this blog can provide a place of comfort for you and I’ll do my best each week to share my suggestions, own experiences and knowledge with you in the hopes that it might help you in some way.
Audible
As someone who has fond memories of listening to audio tapes when I was a child with my own Mother, I feel Audible deserves a mention here. With podcasts and audiobooks now becoming a popular choice with both adults and children, Audible has some fantastic offerings for this poignant annual celebration day. There are numerous Audio books on offer that can coach you through the hard days, as well as uplifting stories on love and remembrance which may just offer a place of salvation when you want to be alone with your feelings.
Find one of my suggestions below.
The nice thing about Audible too is that it offers a 10 minute sample of each book so you can get a flavour for whether you might benefit from it.
To Love and Let go by Rachel Brathen
To gift or not to gift
When spending Mother’s Day alone it can be really difficult to decide whether we should still gift something in memory of that person. A lot of the time we face feelings of sadness and guilt but here it might be a really nice idea to recognise what you have been through losing that someone special?
Perhaps you could gift yourself something this year. Daffodils are often a favourite of mine, with sunny yellow bringing warmth and happiness into the home and the fact that they are a low budget option, I don’t feel guilty about treating myself to some from time to time. They really brighten up the grey drizzly spring days and remind me that spring and summer are just around the corner.
Memorial gifts
If you are considering a memorial gift this year and perhaps flowers aren’t your preferred choice, then why not treat that someone special to an everlasting legacy instead? If Heaven had a Postcode is a more than a memorial book like no other, packed with 88 pages of uplifting poetry, timeless illustrations, surprise envelopes and ideas on how to preserve precious memories of your loved one, this could be the perfect gift and keepsake.
What sets this book apart is that it can be refilled each year. Never miss a Mother’s Day, never miss a Birthday and always write to them at Christmas with this treasured book of memories that the whole family can add to. The best part is that you can also purchase the refill pack as a reminder to rebuild their memory each and every year.
Travel through the seasons on an everlasting journey of love and remembrance.

Sending love to those who need it,
