I appreciate this video very much. Today has been extremely hard. I went to church and following the service, our Bishop asked all the moms in the room to stand up and be recognized. Well, that didn't include me. Others encouraged me to stand up but I just couldn't. This scene is repeated pretty much every year. It's become too painful to attend church on Mother's Day. Maybe next year I'll plan a vacation.
I'm so sorry you have gone through this. This is so hard - it just adds to the pain of the day. If you're comfortable honoring your faith in a different way it helps to avoid a service that brings up pain like that.

You should go on vacation. There is absolutely no reason to put yourself through that. Love your life and enjoy every minute!
