Members Louise Kroft Posted December 31, 2018 Members Report Posted December 31, 2018 I am a grown adult but I am sitting here on New Year's Eve crying out loud because I miss my mom whom I loved deeply. We were very close. We spent all our holidays together. She was so much fun to be with. She was mentally sharp despite her advancing age. She died unexpectedly in November. Part of the intense grief I feel is not knowing all the details about how or why mom died. I only know it was septic shock due to Serratia, which is a hospital-acquired bacteria.
Members reader Posted January 1, 2019 Members Report Posted January 1, 2019 Dear Louise, I am so sorry for your loss. It is incredibly hard to start a new year without our beloved parents. Sorry to hear what happened at the hospital. It is hard not knowing the full details. Please know you are not alone. Sending you hugs. Thinking of you.
Members Nicole-my grief journey Posted January 2, 2019 Members Report Posted January 2, 2019 Louise, My heart goes out to you. I miss my mother dearly too. It feels like I hit more and more reality of the loss with each new day. I try to turn over the devastating thoughts and emotion. It is difficult, but the more I practice this, I feel it will become easier to do. The questions for me regarding what happened to her and her care still circle in my mind. I think the not knowing what or why it happened makes the suffering even harder to bear. I’m working on acceptance of it. Grieving is difficult enough and adding toture to of grief will only hurt us and our health more. I know our mothers wouldn’t wish that for us. I try to think about and do things that she would have liked me to do, or feel and then try those things over and over. It’s learning to live and function all over again with out the center of our universes. Our gravity that our mothers gave us. I will keep you in my thoughts and pray for both of us on acceptance. Hugs, Nicole
