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.

Hey Y'all...hope you're doing ok considering the circumstances. I really miss my mom still...it seems to be at its worst at night, when she was most active. It's stressful as all hell because I'm also trying to pursue a job and find an apartment at the same time. 

Jane't, I'm so sorry about your mom. My mom died suddenly too (although she was very sick though.) Don't forget to take care of yourself and your new baby as well. 

Chastity, I totally feel you. I'm only 28. My mom died too young. I just hope things get better for all of us. 

To everyone else...I hope you have a good day today, and please know you are loved.

Hi jane't. Am soo sorry to hear about ur loss. My mum died suddenly and unexpectedly from a massive heart attack right in front of us at home. It was so traumatic, we are all srtill in deep shock. She had just come home from a 7 day hospital stay where we were told her heart was ok!!! I play the 'what if' game in my head every waking hour and it's also in my dreams

I feel so sad and miss her so much i can hardly breath. The grief is too much and it hits me in waves, and i start crying and nevre want to stop. I feel so guilty, wondering if i could have done something to prevent it happening.My mumshould still be hree with us, she went b4 her time.It seems so unfair and the shock of it happening so suddenly makes it so much harder to cope with. Love siminx

My mom died on May 19, 2012 of a heart attack.  She had never had any other heart problems other than a murmur that was only affected by certain medications.  My mom was only 56 years old and she died on the date that my daugter was due to arrive.  I am so glad my baby was taken early due to complications because my mother was given a chance to hold her. 

 

My mom was my rock, my bestfriend, the person that I called every day.  I miss her so much and I cannot find a way at this point to cope with the pain of missing her.  There are so many what if's and why's that I just make myself crazy thinking about it all.  Everyone says how lucky I am to have my daughter now and that I should focus on her.  I do that and I love my children.  They are what keeps me going however it does not stop the pain that I am feeling.

My Mom passed on Sept. 6th, 2012 of alzheimers. I miss her so very much. My life will never be the same. I wish I could hold her hand one more time. I would love to hear her voice & feel her arms around me again.

I am so sad the pain is unbearable, my mom passed away in July from Pancreatic Cancer. She was my best friend and I miss her lots.

Hello, I am new, My mom recently passed away, April 07, 2012. She had a massive heart attack, her heart was enlarged, she had a blood clot, and her liver was degenerating. I held a grudge against her for 3 months and the day I go to see her, she collapses...I didn't even get to say anything. This was on the 4th of April...on the 07th my family and I agreed to take her off life support. My dad and I stayed in the room as they did so...I seen so much. I have trouble remembering memories because all I see is her last few minutes. I am twenty years old. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to face, and I feel like I am facing it alone.

she was placed on Hospice Thanksgiving day and within 3 weeks she died.  I knew she was dying and I knew one day she would die but in the back of my mind I always thought "she has always pulled thru before"  this time she will pull thru again.... but she didn't and I haven't been able to function very well.  I miss her so much i ache physically.....  she wasn't only my Mother, but my best friend, my confidant and sometimes my protector.

my mama past away dec 8, 2011....  she had been chronically ill for a very long time.  She came to live with me after she had a stroke in 1994.  She had COPD, congestive heart failure, diabetes, etc....  the last 2 years she went down hill pretty rapidly.  but she was such a fighter, so many times I would get a call at work that she was rushed to the ER and I would run there and the docs would say call your family cause this is it.... so many times she was on her death bed and the next day she would wake up and say "I wanna go home"...  a year ago she got really sick, was placed in the nursing home and ended up wheelchair bound.  I took her out of the nursing home and we relocated to seattle from the midwest......  she wasn't able to walk or even stand up and she was a very heavy woman....  so she was in diapers for adults.... and with her diabetes she urinated every couple hours so much she would soak thru her clothes and most times her sheets too.  my 17 year old was such a big help helping to take care of her Nanny while I was at work.

My Mom passed away 12/29/11 2 days before her birthday, she had lung cancer and never told my family, we noticed her sleeping a lot and not eating or drinking anything.  I finally called an ambulance and rushed her to the emergency room.  She told the doctors she was in pain, but never mentioned the cancer.  Mom had a cat scan and found she had 13 malignant tumors, some as big as a softball. She was terminal and didn't have long to live.  We took her home and called Hospice for pain management and every day i watched her get worse, she lasted 2 weeks, the end of her life was very hard, her eyes didnt close or blink, her mouth was wide open and the death rattle was so loud like she had water in her lungs, her heart rate was in the two hundreds, her death was terrible, i cant get the picture out of my head, besides missing her, her dying in my presents makes things even harder.  I know we are told that they are no longer in pain and in a better place, but that doesn't really comfort me.  I hug her ashes every night and morning, i wear a locket around my neck that contains ashes, I will not put a shirt on if it isn't black.  The crying has stopped, but the sorrow remains, all I want to do is stay in bed, sleep a lot and have no drive to get through my daily activities.  I don't know what to do.  How long will this last?  I just need to make heads or tails of this.

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
