Can't really give you any specific answer on something like this. Just figure out what works best for you as far as honoring her memory. Maybe there was a place you two would go together, spend some time there if it's not too difficult.

Sorry for your loss man

I can kind of help as I lost my dad five years ago. As someone above said the best thing to do is something you know they would enjoy. Or maybe something the two of you used to do together that will help bring back some happy memories. I'm not sure your situation but I usually visit where my dads ashes were placed in the cemetery. For me it's just nice knowing that's his final resting place. If you have any siblings try and do things with them especially if you are the oldest. Overall just try to enjoy the day while keeping all the wonderful memories in your mind. Getting upset is nothing to be ashamed of either, it's hard losing a parent, but always remember they would be proud of you no matter what.

I don't know how long ago you lost your mom or how old you are, but I lost my dad when I was 15, I'm about to turn 21. I have gone through many ups and downs since then. If there is anything you ever want to talk about feel free to PM, I know how hard it can be.

You have no footy or seniority and yet you make an asshole assumption like that.

They don't offend me either. That doesn't mean we should be able to throw them around on an internet forum where they have explicitly stated they won't tolerate it.

I lost my dad a few years ago so on fathers day I always make sure to give my mommy a big hug to thank her for doing the job of 2 parents now. Maybe spend some time with your dad, and as said do stuff you think she would like to be doing with you

While I don't have any experience with a situation like this, these are some things I think would help. Spend the day doing something you really enjoy to help keep your mind off of it. Surround yourself with friends and family.

Thank you, I appreciate that immensely. I'm sorry you also lost a family member. It is tough, however, life moves forward and you have to cherish the memories of the past.

Glad I didn't see what he wrote. I'm getting quite angry at my icon.
