I was at the hospital and around 10:30 P.M. my mom died. She had been in the hospital for 2 week because of a gallbladder explosion which resulted in sepsis which the managed to treat. From what it seems she died of some sort of internal bleeding which resulted in her blood pressure dropping to levels they could no longer control. I'm really messed up right now and this community has been like a home to me in the short time I've been here.
The image of her lying there dead in the hospital bed will be burned into my head forever. |
| I woke up from only two hours of sleep and hoped it was all a nightmare. I realized it wasn't and can't stop thinking about it. My head hurts because it's all I've been thinking about. 98% of the friends I have on facebook could seem to careless while as compared to you guys I see a lot more support. I'm glad I took up the decision many months back to hang out with like minded people who like mostly the same things I do. At least my mom got to see the joy firearms brought to me. |

I'm sorry for your loss. I know what you're going through. I lost my Mom in 07. She was only 60 years old. She and I were more than mother and only child, we were best friends. It leaves a big hole right through the middle of your soul. It seems that nothing will fill it and to a point that's true. Even today, coming up on 4 years I miss her. I too had the unfortunate experience of have that image burned into my mind as I was with her until she passed. It's still there... but it doesn't hurt the way it did then. It will subside, but it's going to take time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. David |

I'm also very sorry to hear of your loss.
I was always glad I had my Mother at home with us when she died. I too will always remember holding her hand as she passed. Knowing her suffering was finally over was a relief. Try to think about the good times I think it helps. GB |
| sorry to hear man, thats a shitty thing to happen. all i can say is time heals and try to think of happy times. As she would not want you to remember seeing her like that. I miss my mom every day, time is the only thing that makes it easier. take some time to yourself when you can or with loved ones if that helps. |
