Just lost my mom

Hello everyone. My name is Sophia and i have just lost my mother on Nov 24 to a long term illness that i just found out about almost two years ago. My mother passed away from Chirrosis of the liver and it caused her kidneys to fail. We were trying to fight but somehow she got a hematoma in her head and burst. (Outside the skull) on a friday before that happened we decided on bringing her home for palliteive care but after the head trauma we had to choose hospice the following sunday. Everything had changed in those two days. I was finally able to bring her home on a tuesday night. She was awake talking and laughing, she evn got tobhold her puppy one last time. She fell asleep for the next 6 days with no verbal or motor skills and passed away on a sunday night. I was by her sidevthe whole time holding her hand. I miss my mom she was only 60. She was a big part of my everyday and now i will never hear her voice again. I know that i must continue but its sooo hard.

I am sorry my mom passed at age 58 unexpectedly. And it's just hard losing a parent , and then if they are on younger side it's incredibly hard to sink in. Sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's all so raw and real and feels at this moment that you will never recover. You will, give it time, life will never be the same without your loving mother here for you, but you will always have a piece of her inside of you. I know she loved that you were there by her side every step of the way and got to be at home when she passed. When my sister died at the age of 42, she was a world away in England and I'm in the US, it was hard not feeling like I got closure in seeing her or being at her funeral. One thing I wish I would have been told and had to figure out on my own was this... It's okay to NOT be okay. It's okay to take the time to grieve, remember and to be sad. Reach out to others to help you through this time of grief, but also feel okay enough to not feel like you have to force yourself to move on in someone else's timing. We all grieve differently. Take up journal writing to your mom, sharing life with her, sharing all the things that you wish she were around for that you want to share with her. It's therapeutic and healthy to get it out.
When a good friend of mine from high school passed away after suffering from cancer, his wife posted this song that really came on at a pivotal time as she was grieving the loss of her best friend and left with 3 small children to raise alone. Here it is.. be blessed!!! https://bit.ly/2E7x4k3

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
