Your mom is usually the first one to teach you the meaning of love, which is why it hurts so much to lose her. Send a heartfelt Happy Mother’s Day to your mother in Heaven message to express your love and adoration for her role in your life.
Using your favorite pictures and videos, say Happy Mother’s Day and talk about what your mom meant to your life. Your Happy Mother’s Day message can be reflective of the times you shared, your future hopes and how you imagine her life up in Heaven.
If you’re a widower, you can use it to talk about how she’s molded your children and made your life better. Use these examples as a dedication to your mother in Heaven this May:
What Your Message Should Say
Everyone’s life will come to an end, and though we hate to think about it happening to the people we love (especially mom), that’s the harsh reality. We all want our moms to live forever, or at least long enough for us to make her proud and spoil her with the fruits of our labor.
Losing the woman who gave birth to you will feel like a physical part of you got torn away. When grief is fresh, Mother’s Day can be a whirlwind of emotion, and even years in the future, the feelings of loss can be reignited.
Writing messages to the ones we lost are proven to be effective for coping with grief. Use some of these ideas when posting a Happy Mother’s Day message to your mother in Heaven:
01Tell her how much you love her. Show how grateful you are for all her sacrifices.

02Give some examples of your favorite memories with her, what you liked to do together and how these moments have molded you as an individual.
03Talk about what’s going on in the family, whether good or bad, and how her passing has affected the dynamic.
04Highlight the changes you or others have noticed from her being here to her being gone.
05Talk about the special bond you shared and how being close to her has made you miss her even more.

06Remember her as an amazing mother who did her best for her children and those around her.

07Visualize her life up in Heaven, and how well she has fit in amongst the angels and past loved ones.
Wrap up your Happy Mother’s Day to your mother in Heaven message by sending her lots of love and saying “I miss you”. Or, about meeting again, perhaps in the afterlife.
10 “Happy Mother’s Day” meassages to your mother in Heaven if you are her daughter
A mom’s role in her daughter’s life is to show her what it means to be a woman and prepare her for everything the world will throw at her. Mother-daughter relationships are important, especially in the formative years, and say a lot about the type of mother the daughter will become, if she chooses to have children.
A mom can be like a best friend too and can be the person to share your deepest, darkest secrets with. No one understands like mom does, so losing her can turn your world upside down.
These are 10 ways you can say Happy Mother’s Day to your mother in Heaven if you are her daughter:
01I didn’t realize how important it was to have a mom like you. You helped me learn how to love myself unconditionally, which is something that has gotten me through my rough days, bad breakups and self-doubt.
I’d give anything to have you here again, even if it’s just for a few moments. A daughter needs her mother, no matter how old she is, and I still need you.
I felt all alone after you died, and spent every day asking God why he had to take you from me. It’s so unfair, and I just don’t get it.
Use this Happy Mother’s Day to your mother in Heaven message when you want to talk about how much you love your mom (idea 1). It also indicates the type of bond you shared (idea 5).
Post it with a picture/video of the both of you together.
02This is my favorite memory of us. Look at how happy we were and how simple life was back then.
When you fell ill, it took us all by surprise. Everything you had to go through, from chemotherapy to surgeries, took away your spark and also broke my heart.
I’m so sorry you had to suffer. You deserve your rest and your peace. You gave more than enough to this world, mom.
Happy Mother’s Day in Heaven. Love, Kelly.

03Your elegance and grace are something I always found mesmerizing, and I couldn’t wait to grow up and be like you.
I miss stealing your makeup and sneaking into your closet to try on your clothes. I love how you wouldn’t get mad and would laugh your head off at how ridiculous I looked.
You were a good mom, and always made time for a laugh or something silly like pranking Dad because his reactions would always be over-the-top. I just wish we had more time to do all those things again.
I can’t imagine what we would’ve gotten up to this Mother’s Day. I miss you, mom.

I haven’t been able to look through our pictures without tearing up or have someone mention you without a lump forming in my throat.
You were truly one-of-a-kind and meant the world to me. I hope we get to meet again.

As I look into Lila’s eyes, I see what you saw and feel what you felt. That type of bond is unlike any other in this world and I wish I could tell you that I finally get it.
I wish you could hold her in your arms too and get to know her. I wish you could’ve been her inspiration and her guide.

They said it gets easier, but they didn’t say I’d have to go through all this to get to that point. I loved you more than anything in this world and I still wonder what life would be like if you were still here. How would you react when meeting my partner, Jack? I really wish that we had a chance to take you to Machu Picchu for vacation – something which was always on your bucket list.
No matter how much time passes, the feeling is the same each Mother’s Day. I miss you, but I’ll keep on carrying on, as I know you would want me to.

He makes sure I have everything I need, listens to all my concerns and makes me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world; just like you did. It’s almost like you sent me an angel so I wouldn’t be alone.

Mothers dote on their sons, sometimes even more than their daughters, and from that, we get what is known as a momma’s boy. Being a momma’s boy isn’t always a bad thing, and can simply mean you love and respect your mother very much.

I kept my promise, enrolled in university and I have a 3.2 GPA in this semester. It’s not the top of the class, but I work hard at it every day like you would’ve wanted me to.
I want you to meet Angie, who is studying psychology, just like me. She’s one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met and she stands by me through my hard days.

You were a provider, as well as a nurturer. You protected me, and at the same time, nursed my wounds.
You were a disciplinarian, but also a teacher. You wore both caps well, and I salute you for it.
This Mother’s Day is for women like you who love your sons unconditionally and make their lives special.

5 messages to say Happy Mother’s Day to your wife in Heaven if you are a widower
As much as you’d have liked to grow old together with your wife, life doesn’t always work like that. Whether you believe it was a higher purpose or an unfortunate happening, the hurt will always be there.
And, when you have children, everything becomes 100x amplified when you don’t have her help or input to be the best parent possible. This year, use these Happy Mother’s Day to a mother in Heaven to honor her memory and highlight her as a good mother:
16I never thought that I would be left alone at 32 to take care of 3 kids all by myself. I pictured us being a family, growing old together and spoiling our grandkids rotten.
Losing you made me realize just how much you did as a mother and how much time you dedicated to us. For God’s sake, I never realized how much laundry 3 kids go through in a week and I’m surprised to see how quickly they finish a mega size box of cereal!
You were the definition of a superwoman. I’m so lucky I was able to witness this in real life!

When you said yes, I felt like someone who just won the lottery, and when you told me you were pregnant, I was convinced lightning could strike in the same place twice.
I miss you and our life together. Those were the best days of my life.
Happy Mother’s Day to my one true love, the mother of my children, the apple of my eye and my best friend in the entire universe.

My favorite thing about you was how much you loved us. You made sure we were fed, always had clean clothes, had a cozy home, and so much more.
18You never once complained about how hard things were, even while balancing that with your career. You’re one of the strongest women I’ve ever known, and I wish Lily could have grown up with you as her example.
Your memory will never die in this household, and we still take care of the garden you left behind. Even though Lily is just 7, I’ll make sure she never forgets about her loving mother by working the same soil she did and tending to the fruits of her labor.
We all miss you, and can’t wait to be together again up in Heaven.

Anyone who knows the story of us knows I put my all into getting you to notice me. Looking back, I made a complete fool of myself, but it all paid off in the end.
You were more than my wife. You were an exceptional mother with a big, loving heart and a nurturing touch to mold young minds.
Now, you’re an angel up in heaven, with a beautiful daughter who still remembers how amazing her mommy was. You should’ve heard Kayla at career day talking about how she wanted to be a “badass” like her mom.
The other parents were surprised, but I let it slide. The principal even called me to the side, but we had a big laugh about it.
She’s right, you’re all that and so much more!

All I wanted was to repay you in some way or another, and everything I’ve done for us and this family has been to make sure we’re comfortable and taken care of.
Your being gone has made me want to retreat to those days, but seeing you in the angels you left behind has kept me going. You wouldn’t believe how big Caleb’s gotten and Maggie finally made the swim team.
I’ll hang in there for as long as it takes to see them become who they want to be. I just wish you could be here this Mother’s Day to see what our babies have become.
