Lost Without My Mom

My mom died, August 17, 2009 of an apparent heart attack from heart failure. Her doctors never told me how sick she was and so I was blown away and am heart sick and lost without her.

Chasity, Hi my name is Dana and I m so sorry for your loss! unfortunitly I know what you are going through. May God give you the strength to get through all the Days that are to come, especially Her B-Day. My Moms b-Day is sep.4 I dread the pain that I know is to come but getting her a card and a cake and taking it to the cemetery helps it really does I know it may sound strange but It helps me deal with the pain and I know that my Mom just loves it!. i hope that this helps you alittle.

Hi Eve, I live in Hesperia ca. And yes Church helps I am a Christian well I try sometimes it is hard, I did go down to the Courts and filed with them but I have not been able to find legal help so now I am stuck this has been very trying for me, all I want is some justice for my mom and for that so called Dr. to be held accountable for his horrible negligence. I hope that you are able to get justice as well our Moms deserve that much. I know that I will never be the same I had to watch both of my Parents Die right in front of me, I cant even put into words how that effected me. Talk to You later, Dana.

Hi Dana, I think it is horrible how me doctors treat their patients as a number rather as a person. All they care about is how much money they can make off of them. Thanks for the idea of filing a complaint which I will do tomorrow definitely. I have painted my mom's room and moved my stuff into her room so I can continue to live on with her there. Well, that is how I am trying to cope with it. I found cleaning out her room and keeping everything that she was fond of has helped me a little bit. I don't ever think I will be the same again. The whole in my heart is too huge. If you would like to contact me you can use my personal email address which is didieve4@bellsouth.net. I can also give you my cell phone # if you email me at my personal email address. Where do you live? I think we could both benefit from each other. Stay strong! I know it's easier said then done but everyone I know keeps telling me that. I have also found that going to church everyday so far and lighting a candle has helped a little bit since I am Catholic.

Eve, Hi my name is Dana and I know what you are going through, my Mom died because of her idiot Dr. And i too took care of her and my Dad so when she passed away I blamed myself because i listened to her Dr. and I should not have! my Mom was my best friend as well I miss her terribly and my Dad He died 43 days after Mom. I got my mom medical records and then I filed a complaint with the california Medical Board and it has been sent for Expert Review I am Praying they will find Him Guilty of Negligent I Hate that man with everything in me!! it has been 16 Months& 2Days since Mom died and it has mot gotten any easier unfortunately! I still find myself waiting for them to come through the front door but they never do, you see my Parents have lived with us since 2000 so my house is a constent reminder of what I have lost. I have not been able to bring myself to cleaning out their room it is still the same their clothes their bathroom all still the same I just dont know how to do it maybe I never will. If You need to talk I am here Im not sure how much I can help but I can listen, maybe we can help each other. Dana. this is my other email maxi113@live.com I have less junk on that one.

My mom was my rock, my lifeline and now she is gone due to the incompetency of her primary care dr. I just received all of our mom's medical records and this dr didn't do her job and has cost us to lose our mom. She was my best friend. I dedicated my entire life to taking care of her and I feel like I failed her. Every thought I consume is of her. I can't even explain how much I miss her. The tears flow continuously and I can't apologize enough to my sisters. My mom was a strong Italian woman who no one told her what to do. Finally, 3 weeks ago I was able to convince her to go to my dr. who took the time and within one business day was able to diagnose her but it was too late. I don't know how I am going to go on without her. I am also disabled and can't work but I swear I am dedicating the rest of my life to make sure no one else has to go through this. This morning I heard my mom call my name and I sat straight up only to cry more because she is not here. I feel so numb and don't know how I am going to move on because it hurts too much. I miss and love you mom!!!

I lost my mom on May 17, 2010. And I am LOST without her!!!!!!!!! I talked to her almost every day about the silliest things. I would call her if I had a great day, I would call her if I had a bad day. I would call her to ask her how to make a certain dish for dinner. Now I am so sorrowful that she was taken away from us forever. I had faith in doctors that took her away from me.

Hello Everyone,
Just want to say that May first will be a year that my mother has been gone. I went today to the grave sight and cried uncontrollable tears. Thought I was getting stronger but I guess I was wrong.
My mom died suddenly of a hemmoragic stroke.
The one thing that really hit me today is that my grief is my own. People can support you but ultimately it is your own pain that only you can deal with. I have never felt so alone in my life.

Thanks For letting me vent.

Hi Karen ,
I just lost my mom a month ago on March 15 . She past away from Acute Pulmonary Edema . i ' m still on shock trying to deal w\ it everyday. I still feel lost w\o her now that i can feel the pain of losing her at the age of 73 . She would have been 74 this year . My dad , my sister & I were there in her hosptal room when she past away on March 15. It still hurts after a month on April 15. I feel the same way you do , too Karen . I keep thinking about Mother's Day that is coming up knowing tha she won't be there to say Happy Mother's Day to her before I go to church to sing w\my choir and bringing her flowers home from church to put in a vase for her to enjoy , taking her out to dinner w\ the family . How do i deal w\ this pain of losing my mom so suddenly like this ? it makes me very upset and still hurting and a great deal of pain inside my heart for my mom .
Thanks ,
Eileen

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
