Hi Holly I too lost my mum two years ago in June this year. It still is very raw. I am an only one and I lost Dad Two years previous to this by 4 days. I light a candle at the side of a photo of the both of them, on such days. I also do this on their birthday ( My Dad's was 17th September) This gives me comfort, but I do feel sad not only on these days but every so often. I can also have happy thoughts and I cherish these times. sometimes I get angry with them for leaving me. But I know they are together and watching over me. This I think is the grieving process. My thoughts are with you at this time xx
