I'm Losing My Mom

[Murp.mm]

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I lost both my parents and can understand the devistaton. However you seem to be strong and understanding and thats really all you can be. I lost my mom when she was 36 after I did 15minutes of cpr & failed-my only prayer was that she went in peace. I pray the same for your mom and I also pray for you and your family during this incredibly difficult time. God bless!

I can't imagine what you went through losing your mom at such a young age and doing CPR to try and save her. That had to be one of the hardest things you'll do in your life. I know my mom is an old lady but you know no matter what the age it still hurts. We only have one mom and we were close. She depended on me a lot and both her and dad were so good to me when my kids were small. Dad died at a fine old age of 84. I have lost 2 brothers and a sister and I know the pain of losing someone young. I thought I would never get through it. But time does heal and now I am looking at what peace mom will have in her life when she reunites with my dad and her children. Thank you for your prayers I'll need them.

My thoughts and prayers are with you! I lost my mom to breast cancer when I was 14. It was such a heartbreaking time, but she suffered so much the last year of her life, it was kind of a relief when she didn't have to fight any more. That probably sounds bad, but I knew she would be so much better off.

Big hugs to you and your family. When her time comes I hope it is very peaceful for her.

Update on my Mom - Sorry so long

Thanks everyone for all your prayers and support. You know I almost feel bad writing about my mom cause she has lived a good life and a long life. So many people lose their mom & dads so young. It is just that age creeps upon you and like everyone who has a mom knows that a mom is the foundation of a home. My mother was strong and kind and didn't spoil any of us. There was no room for spoiling. You got what you needed not what you wanted. But I am glad she was that way. I just hate to see her fading away. But we always say she had 9 lives. Yesterday she was a lot brighter, this morning she was a lot weaker and more congested. But she seems content and knows she is on her way. She has told us all in so many words. She speaks about my brother who died 11 years ago with an aneuyrsm at 42 yrs old. She says he is in the room. I believe he might be. Someone always comes to take you to the other side. This is a like a journal for me. I write everyday. I must go now. Time to relieve the other shift.

92 years is a good run, I bet she is happy the way her life went. And I bet she is proud of you and the rest of her children. :D

I hope you will find comfort in the fact she has lived a good life. I lost my MaMa when she was 69. I think about her everyday. But, now it doesn't take my breath away. There was a time I couldn't breath just thinking about her. I was caught up in her death and not her life. I was very blessed to have had her. I wish you peace in this time.

Mom is weaker today

Thanks for all your kind words. My mom has lived a long wonderful life. Not easy but she took it all in stride. My night shift is over, back again this p.m. Home just in time to take Ali for her run and clear my head. Mom is not speaking today at all. Not drinking. I think the end could be drawing near. I know you will all keep us in your prayers. The hardest part for me is watching Nicole crying as she loved mom so much. I cry then too. I try to be strong but I wear my heart on my sleeve. My son left for Calgary yesterday and I was quite emotional all day. Must go now and take Ali for her run then back to the nursing home.

My prayers are with you.....I have been there,...I lost my beloved grandmother at the age of 101, I looked after her for the last 8 years of her life, and I loved her so much, for the last two weeks, I did as you are doing now, and vigiled at her bedside, trying to breathe strength into her body, and praying to God to let her live, because my pain was so much.....we spent lots of time laughing over stuff that had gone on in our lives, I sang all her favorite irish songs to her, and spent a lot of time cuddling, and kissing, and we both told each other how much we loved each other... I needed to make her feel my love..and to let her know she was never alone. We really were so close, and my heart was breaking, I couldn't bear to let her leave me...I was in absolute agony, the pain was so hard to bear...then one day I went in, and she had passed two minutes before I got there....I am sure she didn't want me to be there, and witness her going...she probably knew I would beg her to stay...but the last words to each other were 'I love you and always will'...and that's my advice to you now....let your mum know how much you love her, I let my nan see all her grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great, great grandchildren, the day before she died, and they all got the same chance to declare their love for her...My prayers are with you, I know the road you are treading is not easy, and can't be pain free, but know that you are in our thoughts today..God Bless xxx

So sorry to hear this

I just wanted to tell you I am sorry for what you and your family are going through. No matter what the age or way they pass losing your Mother is always hard. I am so pleased you are able to communicate on here and let us try to comfort you. You are very strong for supporting your family. It sounds like you are becoming that foundation you spoke of. I too lost my Mother and it was only a year & a half ago my stepfather passed soon after my Mom. She was 42 he was 45, I was 20. Time does dull the pain. My prayers are with you and really hope she does pass peacefully. I hope you find some comfort in the fact she is going to be with all of those who have passed before her and she will be free of pain.

(((hugs)))
