"Avi,
I hope your Dad is doing well. That must have been hard on you being in the hospital. I am also sorry you are having more guilt like me. It’s a horrible feeling. Also one that others don’t understand."

Avi commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Hi All,
Hope every one is doing fine. Last week my father got an infection and was hospitalized so could not follow much here. Now he is better and recovering.
Virginia, you seem to be totally engrossed in the guilt which I can…"
Virginia G commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"My boyfriend finally gave up. I don’t blame him at all.
And Brett I will tell you I don’t deserve the prayers, pray for my Mom please."
Virginia G commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"So the dr talked to my therapist and he told her the same things he told me. I had asked her to try to get more answers. I actually feel worse because I had someone ask some doctors about using ventilators. The oncologist told us…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Theresa, since talking to you last I have been searching for a natural solution to your issue. There are new supplements since I went through this about a year and a half ago, but my best advice would be to talk to your doctor about trying a new…"
Theresa commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Hi everyone, I have been reading, going through a tough time with my friend her dog is getting ready to go to the rainbow bridge and that set me into anxiety. My stomach is flaring up no matter what I eat.
I started to think about my mom…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Virginia, my dad was horrible. My mom and my brothers and sister moved to NC where mom had family. I was six. We found a little house to rent. We had left all of our furniture at our house in Ky. I remember the day the moving truck came to our new…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Bluebell, I do not know if you have the same symptoms that I did. It was scary. I was in my shower one day. I was looking at my bottle of shampoo and I couldn't remember what to do with it. And then when I reached for it, it was like my arm was…"
Virginia G commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Pamela,
Those are hurtful things you had to deal with. I am so fortunate that drinking was never a frequent activity with most of my family. The only thing I can say is this. I am the one feeling guilty, desperately hoping my Mom…"
BLUEBELL commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Thank you Brett. It is very scary. What I do not like the most is the lack of motivation and being so easily fatigued. I am also frustrated with the lack of support from the Doctors. I keep asking it it would be dangerous to increase a certain…"
Virginia G commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Brett, the dr may realize that he didn’t tell me what was going on in the hospital and that’s why I have all the questions. I blame myself for getting upset with him, then not seeking him out but he might feel responsible. I…"
Pamela philipp commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Virginia yes I will tell you what she lied about who my father is my mother told me the man who is on my birth certificate was my father but he told me I was not his daughter and I look like my so called step father who raised me since I was a baby…"
Virginia G commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Bluebell,
Are you having more symptoms to make you think this? Or is it from the anxiety of the one you had? Did they say how long it would take for it to resolve? "
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Bluebell, I have experienced this and it was the scariest time in my life. It was caused by a concussion. After leaving the hospital I had lingering issues. I had trouble putting two and two together. I went back to the ER twice. The consensus was…"
BLUEBELL commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"I am asking for your prayers please. I am very afraid of having another bleed in my brain. I am so depressed and so very easily irritated, that it is hard to live with myself. I am not feeling positive about my future. I know this is not related to…"
Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Pamela, my dad was horrible. As great as my mom was, my dad was her polar opposite. Since my mom's death I have met three new sisters. All women that were born while my mom and dad were married. My mom didn't know anything about them. That…"

~I lost my sweet Mom 6-8-09. In 2006 we found out that she had breast cancer, she had surgery and radiation. Everything was good for awhile. Then in August of 2008 we found out that it was in her Liver, Gall Bladder, Bile Duct and Lymph Nodes in the central part of her chest. She had surgery to remove everything that could be safely removed. In Sept she got a Staph infection and we almost lost her. November, she started Chemo....She was 2 treatments away from being finished with chemo when we found out that she was in Acute Renal Failure (5-19-09), two days later we found out that her Liver had failed and that there was nothing left that they could do for her. She died June 8, 2009 at 1:10pm.

Sue Waxman said… Karen,
I work up this morning...and thought "what a bummer". I really have no meaning to my life. My mother has been gone 3 weeks Monday. Cancer...that murderer of our loved ones. She was my darling mom. Without my faith..I would just kiss this thing we call life goodbye. This site and all of you have been almost my sole support. I pray a lot. I miss her. I hope you are going to have a decent day today. I will try. Mustering up the energy and desire to do something normal like go to the movies. XO Sue

Karen,
I am a 26 year old dental hygiene student and mother of a little girl who is almost four. Last Dec. my Mom was diagnosed with Stage IV Ovarian Cancer. We lost her this past summer. She was only 49. I felt like I was the only young girl who lost her mom--until I joined this community. It is so hard, and I miss her so much. Sometimes I think im ok and can see a future for myself and my family, and sometimes I cant hardly get out of bed. I hope you and your family are well.

Katherine Ellis said… - Karen I am so sorry you just lost your Mom. It's been a few years for me but I think about my Mom everyday and say hello to her. My husband had cancer 3 yrs ago and they said he was "cured". Now he is having liver problems and I'm scared the cancer may be back. We just never know what life will deal us. Hang in there and know that you are in my prayers and thoughts.

Jonnie Russell said… - I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom when I was 18 years old. Then a Sister, a Brother, my Father and recently my Brother to cancer. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of them all. It has been 26 years since I lost my Mom. Take comfort in knowing that the memories you have of her or of the two of you together now will one day lead to smiles instead of tears...

- I am so sorry for you. I also lost my mother on 10/16/08, father on 12/5/08 and my grandmother on 5/29/09. My mother also had bial duct cancer. It is really hard losing so many of your loved ones in a short period of time. My daughters are 24 & 19 and the family is having such a hard time with this. We miss them so much.

Orphaned Adults
This group is for adults who have lost both parents and are struggling with coming to terms with this impact, which is harder then you realize till it happens to you.
