Dead Moms Club
The first rule of Dead Moms Club: don't talk about Dead Moms Club.
(Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. For those of you unfamiliar with this reappropriated movie quote: you missed it!)
You can talk about Dead Moms Club. If you dare...
Second rule: you can join the club if you meet the following criteria:
1. Your mom is dead.
2. You're upset about it. (Sociopaths need not apply, of course.)
This isn't a club that you want to join, like Classics Club or something, but it's a lifetime membership. Once you're in, you're in.
Members of this highly inclusive club do not discriminate against those who are in the Dead Dads Club or the Dead Parents Club, in fact, interpersonal relations between members of all clubs is highly recommended.
Meetings of Dead Moms Club are irregular, and no participation is actually required for membership.
A sense of humor is greatly appreciated among members, but only necessary if you don't wish to be offended.
Participation includes, but is not limited to:
Writing, conversing, laughing, and crying
Reading books you know your mom must have read and wondering what she thought about them
Hearing one of your mom's favorite songs and thinking, Hey this is one of Mom's favorite songs!
Watching a movie that was one of your mom`s favorites. Watching a movie that your mom bought for you just because you wanted it.
Thinking about your dead mom
at random moments in your life and appreciating what time you did have together.
