Re: Confessions

[(Anonymous)]

Yesterday was the day I turned exactly double the age I was when my mom died. So today was the first day I had less time *with* her than without. (Does that make sense?) Anyway, I'd had that idea in my head for a while, that this was coming up and it made me sad, more than anniversaries of her death or birthday or anything. So I figured when the date actually came I'd make a FB post about it, something nice with a picture, so I'd get some support and maybe nice stories about her. I did do that, except it feels weird because if I hadn't had this whole idea so firmly in my head, I would probably have been fine today, and not sad at all. Now though with all those people being nice and all those stories I kind of am. I'm also wondering if I maybe just did it to get attention and then on the other hand if that really would be so bad if I did.

Nah, it makes sense. It's a weird feeling to reach a milestone that isn't necessarily one.

And there's nothing wrong with celebrating a loved one who died. It's not like you're begging for trinkets and sympathy or making a huge dramatic show of being crippled by this day or something. It's your mom. You get to remember her the way you want.

I've been counting down to the same date. Mine will be next year.

I don't know why it seems like such a big thing to me, but it just does. I get it. I really hate that I can't think about her as being around for most of my life after that, because she'll be gone longer. It just doesn't make sense given how important she was to me that she just stops being such a big part of my life from then on (even in a way that probably doesn't matter all that much). It really makes me think about all the time I've missed out on with her and all the things I've missed talking to her about.

I think if you need the extra support around anniversaries or you just want to acknowledge the person who passed, most people can relate to that. A lot of people post memorials in the local paper every year around the same time. It's a pretty common way for people to go about it. It doesn't take much effort for them to either ignore or acknowledge something like a facebook post. It's not disruptive to them. I don't think you should feel bad about it.

I very much doubt that the support you received negates the original sentiment behind the actions or the emotions that lead you to the decision to take said action. You can't just go back and retcon your own intentions because people were nice to you, anon.

There's no reason to feel guilty about wanting someone to notice that you've been having a hard time.
