What to I say to my nieces this mother’s day. Its the anniversary of their mom’s, my sister’s death.
I
That’s sad, Rusty. Very difficult and I don’t know what to say, other than how much you miss their mom and think of her all of the time. I guess the best thing to do is share your loss together...it’s likely what your sister would want you to do. God bless all of you.
Since I didn’t have a close relationship with my mother, I don’t know that I can be of any help. For me, it’s just another day.
I found all sorts of suggestions on how to make it through the day, or to share memories of Mom, depending on what the person wants to do. I’ll pass those along if you want. But as for words to say to them....the first thing that popped in my mind was to share with your nieces any comments or stories your sister shared with you about how much she loved being their mom. Not in the ‘she would be so proud of you/loved you’ way, but in a ‘this is what SHE said about YOU’ way-giving her actual words to them.
Not sure that made sense.
