Profile Information

About Me:
I have been divorced since January 2001. I have two single daughters, 30 and almost 26. Oldest in medical school; youngest in graduated school. I have no grandchildren. I have 5 brothers and 2 sisters. I am the oldest child.
About my Loss:
I just lost my mom at 77 years old on June 17, 2016. It was an unexpected loss. My mom's first stroke was in June 2015; she had brain surgery to clean the blood and look for any tumors. The outcome of this stroke left her with dementia. She then had 2 TIAs within a year. After the 2nd TIA, cardiologist at a different hospital told us my mom had a hole in her heart, which we had just found out it was from birth. No other cardiologist had ever mentioned she had a hole in her heart. Cardiologist recommended repair of her heart. Eventually, we all agreed for my mom to have heart surgery. On June 13, 2016, my mom had surgery at 1 p.m. She was given blood thinners during surgery; otherwise, she would have a blood clot. She was then brought to her room and ate. My mom began having difficulty speaking. She complained of chest pain. She then vomited and went into a coma. Shorly after, she had a CAT scan, which revealed a huge brain hemorrage. We all agreed for blood to be removed. She underwent another surgery, 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. same day of heart surgery. Neurosurgeon told us my mom was in a vegetative state. There was a chance she was going to have more strokes and heart attacks. She did have 3 more strokes and a heart attack while in a coma 2 days after. We had to let her go on June 17th. My mom had a horrible husband (my dad) who physically and verybally abused up until she was 74; tried to kill her with a gun a couple of times. I witnessed horrible things done to my mom by my dad since I can remember. My mom's children were her happiness. I am having a very difficult time dealing with my mom's loss. Feel guilty for putting her through so much when agreed to the heart surgery, which lead to her death. I don't have my siblings' support. Each of them is dealing with his/her own pain.

Jennifer replied to Robin H's discussion Lost my Partner who wasn't my partner in the group Being the Other Woman/Other Man
"Welcome to the group.  I lost my partner on February 5th this year, so it's still pretty raw for me too.  Reading through your story really touched a chord with me.  Like you, I didn't think I would ever find a group like…"

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
