[quote=Anonymous]OP, thank you for writing the post I have been thinking about writing but never knew how to frame the thoughts I had in my mind.

My mom died early in the morning the day after thanksgiving. 11/25. DS1 turned 3 on 11/13 and I had a newborn who was born on 11/1.

Sometimes I look back and although it's all a complete blur, I don't know how I went through it all.  My mom was sick, but we did not think she would die. She was in a rehab facility (in a hospital) to get stronger after a long hospital stay and she died 2 days after arriving there. She begged my dad and said she didn't want to go.  The last time my dad left her side on thanksgiving night, she was barely speaking to him.

It was so awful and sometimes I start to think about it and literally have to snap out of it and stop because how it happened and my dads reaction, going to the ER to see her shortly after (I didn't know that's what you did).  I was nursing my son at my in laws house when I got the call at 6:45am that she had died.

She was so sick for so long and I was kind of relived because I had a lot to be thankful for and happy about but I certainly was not happy.  She was suffering and my dad was struggling and I cared so much about them and worried so much that I could barely stand it.

I can't believe she isn't at family gatherings, isn't here to see me as a mom, to know my sons, for my dad. It's like - your here one day and then you are gone...when I really think about it it's hard to process. [/quote]
