why do i cry so much??

There are a lot of days lately,all i want to do is cry, and cry, all day,it comes on sudden,i know its close to mothers day,and my mom passed away a few years back,and yes i miss her so much...
could this be a trigger to cause all the upset?
Could it be,my harmones are out of wack again?
At my age 63,you would think i would be past this...

why do i cry so much??

Thanks so much everyone!
It means so much to me,to know iam not alone in the things i do,as i am retired,and my husband is too,we had so many plans..but all that went to the way side in this economy were in, but back to the crying thing,yes, its because mothers day is here,and i was born on that day,so its also my birthday time too..
In just 4 years time,i lost most of my family,i have two sisters, and ofcorse my children..but my brother,my mom,my dad,my cousins,and numerous aunts and uncles..i really didnt have time to grive over one,until it was another who died..that may be why i do cry at certian times..
My daughter, just went through 2 years of being cancer free,as she had breast cancer, that was so hard to get through!
She also had an unexpected baby,that we almost lost,and had to be air lifted to louisville ke to kosars hospital for children,but she ok now,and such a sweet little blessing to us all!
She will be all of 3yr come june 1st!
I am counting my blessings,and i am blessed indeed,my husband of 45 years is in good health,and were lucky in somany ways to have each other..our youngest son has had to move back in,,as he lost his job,and there hard to find!
But,i am not complaning..i just cry out of the blue for hours at times,maybe its a way for me to release the stress i have in me at that time,or post menopause things..harmones..but yes i agree!!!
It is a release!!!!!!!

Why are they Nights soooo tough

Seems there are others who also have a harder time at night like me...
 
Rihgt now,iam taking ativan for sleep,and to help me through the night time...i just hate it,when i wake sudden and in a panic state!
Or i have a bad dream..but,i am reading everything on here i can to help myself out of this!!!
Today,i am doing alot of the breathing exercises,and it does help!
At night,i love the smell of lavender,so i spray my pillows in it,and i also have lavender bath oils...
Love hot tea before bed..i also use relaxation tapes to listen to,right now its soft piano music that helps...
Thanks

Another bad night!

I did not sleep very well last night,i went to bed,started my tape,started my breathing exersize,and suddenly,there it was,so i did try to calm myself with good thoughts,breath slowly,but,i finally had to get up and come to my comfort zone, lean back in my recliner,hold myself until i drifted back to sleep,,i did notice one thing...after taking the ativan, my scalp started itching..could be merves,but this morning iam still itchy all over..does this happen??
