My Mom Passed Away

[97Pac]

My mom passed away on Monday after having a heart attack and I’m having a hard time dealing with it. One moment I’m talking to her, then I leave room so she could try to get some sleep since she was tired. A few minutes later I hear some weird gasping noise.

Once I realized she was out I called 911 and started attempting CPR but it didn’t work. Once EMS came they tried everything but couldn’t revive her. My dad was out on his way to a doctor’s appointment so I was home alone for those few helpless minutes.

Everyone is telling me that it’s not my fault but I just can’t help but feel like I failed her. Maybe I should’ve stayed in the room or called 911 first instead of checking on her.

She had a rare form of arthritis and her body was always in pain, it was so bad that she was basically home bound for the last decade. In that period, I pretty much became her unofficial caretaker and in the process she became my best friend.

In addition to that, I lost my grandmother right before the pandemic and my grandfather almost exactly a year ago, both on my father’s side.

I’m down bad guys, I couldn’t even write this post without starting to bawl so sorry for the grammar mistakes .

Man it was her time to go home, don't beat yourself up. Only thing you can do now is be the best son possible and make her proud.

It's not your fault breh....the human body is fragile and death is inevitable for all of us. If she was suffering then you should be at peace that she no longer is. You can be the healthiest person in the world and still end up dying tomorrow. Try your best to move on as I'm sure she would want you to move on with your life and be happy.

Praying for you and I am so sorry for your loss.

There was nothing you could do so don't blame yourself. In fact in being such a good son and best friend and caretaker, you did the very best you could for her. I was my mother's caretaker (cancer) and grandmother's (Alzheimer's) as well and I know how much it took out of you and I salute you for being there and I know this sounds kinda weird but my mom and grandmother were in so much physical pain for years at the end of their lives that I wish they had a quicker passing. It is very hard to see someone decline while being in pain and having nausea for years with chemo etc... and you try everything to help but nothing does so sometimes it is best that people pass on a little more quickly. I mean what if she had survived but then was comatose or kept having more heart attacks or then had more strokes and more pain? Sometimes it is best that people quickly pass on. I know it does not ease the immense pain and loss though.

Don't be afraid to get a grief counselor to help you through this if you need one. I did and it really helped having someone to help me work through my grief. May God bless and comfort you.

Don't blame yourself. Part of life is accepting that there are things outside of your control.

I'm sorry for your loss and hope your mum is at peace.
