My condolences family.

None of that is your fault. And as much as it may hurt and not make sense in the now, mama is in no more pain. She ain't missing out on you, your life or anything of the sort, just the pain.

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 .

My condolences, you're in my prayers and it's not your fault.
Had something similar happen Dec 2020 and i was always thinking what if i knocked on the door sooner or what if we made him go to the er and not wait for his regular appt..

When i come to terms that is not my fault.. It could've been worse like while driving or walking in the street or etc.. once i came to terms it was OK

OP I'm in the same scenario as you

lost my aunt on the 5th and being going in and out of it just trying to distract myself with anything I can to cope. I've been dealing with a wide range of emotions, particularly the guilt for not making more of an effort to see her last time I was in town thinking I'd see her agian when I move back home. God had other plans. My mom has been hysterical and its had me worried to the point i cant sleep thinking about my aunt and how moms is handling her passing. Almost lost my mom couple months ago when she lost conciousness while driving to a doctor's appointment, so I've been on edge. My been going through complications since having both his legs amputated and, etc etc the dark cloud persist. It's to the point where when things seems to be good I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop so to speak. I truly understand the weight you're carrying OP.

It's normal to feel guilt when this happens because we tend to obsess over how we could have done more etc.

take solace in the fact that you were with her in her last moments. some people dont get that. . My advice is to distract youself with some hobbies...literally anything you can for the moment, just to get past the initial shock.

I fought through 10 years of depression triggered by a death of a family member back in 2007, and I dont want to go back so I'm trying to deal with as productively as possible.

take it easy. cry until you absolutely cant anymore, get all of it out. and jsut distract yourself because the soul crushing weight of dealing with death of loved ones will eat at you and ways that... trust me OP


My prayers are with you, you're not alone and I hope you can get through it my G. other than that let time do the healing

be strong breh, I'm with you

breh. you dont wanna hear this but when its somebody's time to go, its their time. I'm sure its for a good reason. Your mother is no longer in pain and you can now live your life with her watching over you.

they say rest in peace for a reason; your mom is in a better place. stay up fam.
