These are the times when im in danger with my sobriety and it scares the bleep out of me because most of the time I close myself off from everyone and everything. His birthday is coming up and I'm scared.

My deepest condolences. My mum died 2 years ago. Myself I'm very fortunate that seeing people loving their mom is healing to me. Im 35, so I'm supposed to have had my mum longer than what I was given. I don't know how Im able to do that. All I know is my mum did not want me missing her and me in agony over her parting. So, for me, I embrace that love I see out in public. I hope this is helpful. I hope maybe my perspective can transcend to you and lift some of your grief. Sending you love and strength in this trying time. My mum passed May 11, so sometimes her anniversary will fall on Mother's Day like it did this year. It's both beautiful and utterly painful at the same time.
