[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry, OP. It’s truly a shock. Not a fair comparison maybe but I happened to be with my mom moments before she died - it was sudden although not entirely unexpected. She died about 5 minutes after I left. This was months ago and the grief runs deep - good days and bad days.

Sometimes I feel haunted and think about the hours, days, minutes we spent together on what was to be the last day of her life - recounting vividly how she looked, sounded, what we talked about - I’m getting emotional now typing this. Other times I’ll think back to that day and feel grateful and more peaceful - just depends, I guess.

There are entire days/hours and conversations in and around the time of her funeral that I really can’t remember, at all. I’ve experienced this type of memory loss before during intense stress and believe it’s a protective mechanism.
I’m actually grateful for this.

My sleep was disrupted, as was my appetite.

Know that you are so vulnerable now. Please please take care of yourself. Take friends up on any and all offers of support. Let people help you. Try to rest, try to eat decently, take time to cry and sit with all of the emotions. Make sure someone is looking out for you and can intervene if you become mentally or physically unwell.
