Megan...Thanks for your comment.  There are so many men and women  who are going through this same feeling.  So thankful someone started this web site so we can all converse with each other.  It helps to share some of our thoughts and prayers here.

Lisa and Shirley you are not alone. I keep ruminating over my Mom's last few weeks and thinking of things I wish I had said or done. I just feel so guilty, like I should have done more. She deserved more.

No one can predict how they will react when faced with losing someone so close to them. It can be hard to accept, but we gave as much as we could. I am sure they were grateful that we were their for them in their last moments. When I become overwhelmed with negative thoughts I try going for a walk or doing some mindfulness. It helps some, at least to keep the worst at bay. Xx

Lisa.....Just read your post and wanted to say hello and that I can relate with your feelings.  Lost my husband the 29 of April 2014, had him at home with Hospice of the Valley, and still wonder if there something more  I could have done for him.  Know now that GOD was in charge and HE was the one who controlled my husbands life.  Miss him and will love him he rest  of my life.  But understand he has a new world, body, pain free, no medicines, no confusions and we will re-unite some day. That gets me through each day.  God  Bless you and may each that passes bring you closer to the peace you need.

Lately, I can't stop thinking of my brother's last month in the hospital and at hospice, and wishing I'd done more for him.  I'm feeling flooded with these thoughts and just want him back.  I desperately want him back.

Calming, not flaming. Spell check can sometimes say the exact opposite of what you meant to say!!!

JO B alexio,

Yes, many thanks for always posting these beautiful, scenic pictures of the sea. Looking at them is calming. So you have the good fortune of living near the sea? If I could I would too. There is something flaming in the power of the beauty of the sea and ocean. Be well, all of you on this day when the rest of the nation is celebrating. No celebration or respite for the likes of us.

Bela, are you English, or an American on a visit to England ?

Just because the NHS here is free does not mean its free from bad practice and inefficiency. My Mum  elected to stay with the NHS despite the  poor treatment, lack of professionalism and negligence in her diagnosis. Maybe they were incapable of handling the complexity of the case or they didn't want to handle so conveniently ignored it.  Let not it be judged that free health care saves lives. Trust me I know as I am in the UK. My sympathies to everyone here. Life is at times unbearable without my best friend, Mum.

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
