This is my first entry on this sight. I have never used an online support group before. My mom died almost three years ago. It feels as if it could have been yesterday. It is not that my life has not gone on, but the hurt continues, and the guilt becoming more evident. I attended Hospice Survivor group after she first passed, but am hesitant to go back because of the time it has been since her death. And quite frankly, my issue continues to be with the Hospice experience. The people who worked with us were wonderful and they nurtured us through the difficult forty-five days we were at the Hospice House. These people became our family. It is the deciding that death is better than life, the decision to stop all food and fluids that still haunts me today. In one of my saddest times last month I actually verbalized, "I feel like I killed my mom." The verbalization even took me back. It was the gut feeling that I have, and seem to continue to struggle with. I did what I felt was right and what she would have wanted, but on the other hand, she would have never wanted to die that way. I have loving support from friends (hers and mine) and family, but this nagging sorrow remains. I miss her terribly, as she was my best friend. Our father died thirty-two years ago so we were all we had. Having shared what I felt with my sister recently, she acknowledged she had similar feelings, but not that we killed her. For the first time I really felt she understood, even though she was there much of the time. We never left my mom's side while she was at the Hospice House. We ate, slept, bathed, just lived in the same room with mom for that forty-five days. The whole very sad time was only six months total with seems short compared to what others have had in years, but the time was intense. I am hoping that someone, somewhere, will understand this experience and maybe be able to give me suppport in healing this area of the death experience. My mom was a strong Christian woman, a woman of faith. I too, rely on my God, and faith is not my issue. I understand the conclusion of her life was His calling. I understand He was in control all the time. I accept His will, I prayed for it daily, sometimes hourly. It was the way she died, and my decisions that led to this kind of death.
i have not lost my mother to death, but i am grieving as my brother has put her in a residential village where i cannot get to see her, its is a hole in my heart as i used to visit her every week, do you think it is normal to feel like this , ifeel a great sadness , x

hey jalysa i know how yo feel more than you think my mom passed in may 14, 2010 and we had her cremated and she was baried with my grandma in puerto rico and i live in miami on august i went up there for my aunts wedding and i really tried hard to go to her cementary and no one would take me and i was so upset because i cant just go on a plane when ever i felt like it to go visit her so believe me it was hard because that would be the first time i go to her grave since we baried in july and i was really depressed but your mom is around and she knows you havent fogotten her memory and she is glad you tried to make an effort. i dont nessecarily agree with your grandma that is your way to cope because your mom isnt around anymore so you want to be where she is even if it is in body just to feel like your doing your part just to prove to your self and her that you still cherish her memory and you dont ever want to forget about someone that is so special and important in your life its not a wound its closure and healing in a way atleast for me it would be if i can actually go and visit her
