This is only my third holiday season without my mom, so I can't judge yet. My birthday is 12/6 and the past two birthdays have been horrible for me...far worse than Thanksgiving or Christmas.
I know I didn't answer your question, but wanted you to know you aren't the only one struggling.
Yes, although I doubt it will ever be the SAME, it does get a little easier knowing you made it through the previous one.
It's still hard now, but easier than last year, which was easier than the one before. Time really does help. Doing something for her at the holiday will help too. Make a dish you always had, make a small donation in her name to a charity she liked, that way you can acknowledge her in your own way.
