Struggling as Mother’s Day is coming up

It’s that time of year again Mother’s Day is approaching. I really struggle with it. On Sunday my friend Rikki is taking me to the beach where my mums ashes were scattered. I will put flowers down then let my dog have a run on the beach afterwards. As a joke I’m going to put a fake parking ticket on his car lol. But the issue is that every where I go Mother’s Day is advertised and I feel there no empathy for people like me who no longer have a mother or for the people who have a bad relationship with their mother or just for the people who grew up in care who never knew their mother. I can’t wait for it to be over and I feel I struggle with Mother’s Day the most as it’s advertised everywhere.
