Profile Information

About Me:
62 retired clinical social worker.
About my Loss:
My 93yo mother passed June 28 this year. My younger sister neglected her badly; mother suffered 4 severe falls, 3 in the last 6 months. She passed in an awful nursing home, against her wishes. I was not able to convince my sister to have mother moved in with me 2 years ago after her first fall. In fact, she made it impossible for me to be a part in any decisions regarding mom's care and placement.

I am not doing well. I feel like I failed mom. I know she would not have suffered had I fought harder to bring her to me. The relationship with my sister is damaged beyond repair. Worse, the relatipnships witj my sister's two daughters, my nieces, have also been damaged.

I do not come here to be told there was nothing more I could do under the circumstances. It's ok to feel and express regret and guilt. I just need some emotional support, hopefully, from others having similar experience.

I am vascillating between deep depression and uncontrollable tears and anguish. My mother and I were very close. I was not with her when she passed...

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
