  1. Thank you both for responding. Just knowing I'm not alone in what I'm feeling, gives me comfort. Sometimes my feelings of grief scare me. The sadness I feel rips me to my core. These feelings are unfamiliar to me and I'm not sure what to do with them. Having a group of people who are experiencing the same thing, gives me comfort and hope that I can get through this. Sometimes there are no words that will help, but the thoughtfulness of other people lending an ear does. So thank you for listening and sharing your experiences with me. I feel less alienated and I'm one step closer to acceptance.
  2. Thank you Marty for taking the time to respond to my post. I have been in contact with my doctor and my meds have been increased. I'm feeling less anxious and starting to accept the loss of my mom. I can't believe how many emotions, grief brings out in a person. I do have a wonderful support system at home and I know I'll get through this. Thank you for your kind words and advice, it's greatly appreciated.
  3. Dear Mageestarr, I lost my mom two weeks ago and understand what you are going through. I'm so sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to you. I think we found a great place to share our feelings and find the support we need, to get through this terrible time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
  4. Hello everyone, I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself. I lost my mom two weeks ago and I'm still in shock. My mom was 81 yrs. old and up until October 28th, was living a full, happy life. She took a fall down the stairs and wasn't found until 23 hrs later. She suffered a head and back injury. After being in the hospital for two weeks, she went to a rehab facility for two weeks and then came home. She was doing well, until she presented stroke like symptoms, turns out she had a sub-dural bleed. She went back to the hospital and the prognosis was good. Docs felt the bleed would heal on it's own. Mom went back to rehab and on Christmas eve was rushed to the ER, with respiratory failure. Extreme measures were taken to save her and after a couple of weeks, she seemed to be improving. Turns out she had a seizure and a heart attack, in the hospital. That's when the downward spiral started. She couldn't eat and had a hard time breathing. Being the health care proxy, I knew she didn't want to live by artificial means. I was forced to make the most difficult decision of my life, I had to let my mother go. She was moved to a hospice and died 10 hours later. I have such an empty feeling and still can't believe she's gone. Will this pain ever go away???
  5. I lost my mom 2 weeks ago and also suffer from overwhelming anxiety. One of my biggest fears, was losing my mother. Now that it has happened, I'm obsessing about all the other fears I have. I am under a doctors care for a long term anxiety disorder, but I'm having a hard time. I've lost 20 lbs. in the the last two months, due to my mom's illness and subsequent death. Please tell me it gets better over time.
