I feel selfish that I want her back when I know she’s finally not in pain.
From Angela -
I’m so sorry for all of your losses, everyone here obviously had such love for their mothers.
I just lost my mom on November 10, 2009. My mother moved in with me to help me and in turn I helped her, she had rheumatoid arthritis and my daughter at the time was going through chemotherapy for Leukemia. My daughter 2 weeks ago celebrated her cancer cure date, we had a big party with all my family my mother was so happy. She had a hemorrhagic stroke 2 weeks later and was pronounced brain dead. My mother was such a big part of my life, my best friend, she has always been there for me and my family no matter what, she’d give us everything she had if we had let her. I was lucky to have had such an amazing mother, she raised us alone. My father passed away when I was 7 years old, my mother was pregnant with my little sister at the time. She always gave us her love and support she encouraged us and helped us with everything. She was the center of our world, and now she’s gone and I cannot stop crying I am so overwhelmed by sadness and grief, everything reminds me of her. I’ve always been the strong one, I’m not now anytime I think of her I break down. I know my mother was in constant and sometimes unbearable pain with arthritis, I feel selfish that I want her back when I know she’s finally not in pain.

Hello Angela,
My Mom passed away on October 13, 2009. I think I’m in shock still. She also had rheumatoid arthritis, her hands were so crippled, yet she did everything. I cry every time I get into the car, all the way to work, back home again, everywhere. I try not to cry in front of anyone. I am also the strong one in the family, but my heart is breaking and I just don’t know how I can get through this. She got a sinus infection, it got worse, she ended up in the hospital, then on a vent and now gone. It ended up that she had cancer in her sinus’. Our family does not have cancer, so this is such a shock.
I hope time will make things better, so far not for me. I feel your pain.
Best wishes,
Nora
