2 yrs ince the sudden loss for me an each day has been tough but my main support is still looking after me.. sudden is the worst
At 8:oo AM on September 30th I was a wife starting breakfast. At 8:15 I was a widow. My husband died of a sudden, massive, heart attack right before my eyes. It was so fast we didn't have time to say goodbye. 38 years of shared love and history all wiped out in seconds. I can't get past that day to access the wonderful memories we shared, when I think of him all I see is the look on his face when he died and left me.
II will never forget how beautiful and clear blue the sky was on two particular days in my life: Sept. 11, 2001, that terrible day, and on April 10, 2010. On that April day my mom and I took my step dad to the ER early that morning because he's had a lingering case of bronchitis. While she and I were in the waiting room, we were talking and laughing over something we read in a magazine. As we left the hospital we went through the drive thru at McDonalds, and while waiting for our order we marvelled, the three of us, at how lovely the sky was that day. Later, mom asked me if I would take her shopping at the mall. I told her to wait until the next day as I was going to spend the afternoon preparing food for a wedding shower the next day. I told her we would go after the shower. She looked a bit disappointed, but agreed. The next morning I had just jumped in the shower when my cell phone rang. It was a family friend informing me to get to the hospital asap, that my mom was in bad shape. I broke every traffic law and got there in a few minutes. My mom was lying on the bed when I walked in. Her eyes were closed but she responded when I called her name. The doctor informed me out in the hall that she was hemorrhaging in the brain, and that she was already blind from it. With tears in my eyes, I walked back in and said, Mommy, do you hurt anywhere? She said "I have a bad headache here", and pointed to her forehead. She spoke to us off and on thru the day. Docs gave us hope that she might pull thru, but by that night she was in a coma. I awoke early the next morning to gurgling sounds and the doc asking me if I wanted to put her on life support. Before I could even make a decision, a nurse without sad eyes told me " Your mom has died." I crumpled to the floor. In the grief stricken days that followed, I remembered that last sunny day we had and wondered why I hadn't just spent the whole day with her, took her shopping instead of preparing food for a wedding shower for two people I barely knew? There's so many, many regrets. I miss her so much! She was so beautiful both inside and out. My lovely mommy with her auburn hair and dancing dark eyes. There had only been a very few days in my life that we had not seen each other or spoken on the phone. When I married, she made me promise that we would always live near each other and my husband and I kept that promise. I was her only child, and she will always be my wonderful mom. I want to see her so bad, hug her. Its a terrible feeling when they are here one day and just gone the next.
I lost my 29 year old son on Sept 28, 2015. We still don't know why - the coroner is waiting for toxicology to come back. All I know is that he was fine and then he died in his bed. This is the worse pain I have ever known and it just gets worse with each passing day. I have 3 other kids that I love dearly but I just want to be with my son. I feel like my life is over, and it is. Life as I knew it before. Now I have to somehow get thru the rest of my life..........I just want to be gone.
