Im wondering if I can call myself mom even though I dont have a child anymore. My daughter died last year. Am I just wife to my hubby or can I still call myself mom?

You will always be a mom, you did have a child and you will always be their mom even though they are no longer here. I am also so sorry to hear about you losing a child. That must have been terrible. Take care.

I am sorry you lost your daughter. You are definately still a mom with a mom's love and a mom's heart and you are never just a wife even when you're not a mom. You are an individual with thoughts and pains and opinions.

Of course yes.
Don't get discouraged cos you lost your child, that is not the end of the world.
There are people who have children yet they are not mothers or mom cos they never behaved one.
Others don't have children but their lives had so much affected and mentored other people such that they cannot but must be called mothers or mom.
You may not have a child from your body but you are a mom as long as your life is touching others and making their lifes brighter.
There are so many motherless babies on the street let God use you for something.

So sorry for your loss. You are a human being, number one, a woman, a wife, and a mother. dont ever forget that. your child will always be your first born, and will always hold a special place in your heart and your life.
