Today is 6 months since my mum died suddenly and unexpectedly from an aneuarysm. As time goes by and i miss her more, it's gettin g harder not easier. I keep having this dream where i beg her to hold my hand and take me with her to whre she is. I wake up crying every single day.I still can't accept that she has died. Some days i still awke up thinking she is going to walk into my room. I never had time to say goodbye to her and am filled with feelings of guilt over times in the past when i had arguements with her or shouted at her. If only i had known what was to come i would have hugged her and told her how much i love her 24 7. I will never get over these feelings of regret. Sudden death is so much worse than a death that one can prepare for. xx
My mom was killed in a car wreck 3/7/13. I can't wrap my head around it. The car was totaled and my mom tore up. How do you navigate this?

My grandma had a small TIA about 9 weeks ago, and there were no large deficits the doctor told her to work on her memory and balance and come back in 6 months. She had some pain/swelling in her arm, and leg, and had went to the dr. they told her it was gout. She went to the hospital on last week with sudden chest pain and fainting, they found out it was a massive pulmonary embolism. They tried a drug to fix it which is controversial if you've had a recent stroke. Dr.'s didnt really warn us of side effects, I got to say hello to my grandma I love you one last time and "Ill see you tomorrow!" 3 hours later my grandma stroked out had a brain bleed and never woke back up. I was very close with her. I spoke with her daily, sometimes more. Went over her house weekly. My wedding is in 3 months and I feel no motivation, my grandma helped me plan everything so far. I just don't understand God's reasoning for doing this. It mean the world to her to be at my wedding, vice versa. Life just doesn't make sense, Im questioning my faith...And wondering how to cope with missing her constantly.
Ashley, I am so very sorry for the loss of both your parents. I too experienced the loss of my parents at a young age. When I was 8 my mom died of a heart attack, she was only 35. Needless to say, it was very difficult for our family. My Dad not only lost his wife but had five children to raise. A few years later he remarried and when I was 17, very close to my 18th birthday i lost my Dad to bladder cancer, he was only 47. I went through a tough few years, instead of finding someone to talk to about the pain I was going through I internalized my pain. When I was 23 I started in a recovery program and have been sober since, I am now 55. I eventually found, that for me, I had to find some kind of a higher power, which I chose to call God. I could not do this thing called life on my own. I had tried for many years and I couldn't do it myself. Nineteen years ago, when I was 36, I lost one of my brother's in a tragic fall. Even though I was married and had four children, I didn't know if I would ever be able to feel happy again. Fortunately at that time I had a good support system, and one day at a time, I was able to live life and be happy again. I always said that if one of my kids ever died, they would just have to lock me up. Well 15 months ago I lost my son, in a tragic accident, also in a tragic fall. I really believe what has helped me and my family continue on, is the love, support and especially prayers from so many people who cared about us. I have run into people who didn't even know me, who told me I remember hearing about your son's accident and I prayed for your son and your family. I don't know if any of this is helping you, but I do want you to know that the days do get more bearable. A good friend told me after her son was shot and killed, that she had to decide whether to let the grief do her in or choose to survive. She chose to survive, and has been an example to me that you can continue to live life and actually be able to smile again. Just take one day, sometimes one minute at a time. As so many have done for me, I will do for you,you are in my prayers. Hugs. Robin
Ashley,
I tried to send a message to you -but I had to "add you as a friend" - this tech stuff sometimes..ha; I'm not in my 20's - so not exactly the age range you are looking for, but I wanted to extend my thoughts to you. I lost my Mom about 6 months ago - suddenly, at her place. I was talking with her, left the room - and based on the times on my cell phone bill because I know who I was talking to at the time etc (shows me calling 911 etc), I was away from her about 10 mins tops in another room and she fell to the floor. I tried CPR and I was just in shock; I couldn't believe what was happening. I tried and tried to save her- hoping she would still be with me andwe could endure (we had lost my dad -her husband) just 2 months prior. Don't know what else to say. They were both good friends to me, and I miss them terribly. I found this site and all the accompanying groups just recently and I 'm glad I did. But I think of the things that they won't see; If I do have kids, they won't see that -at least not on earth with me; it makes me think of a lot of things, it's like a bad dream still at times. Feel free to reply to me if you like. Take care.
Hi everyone! I am here because I NEED to find someone that I connect with. The day after Christmas 2010, my Mom who just turned 50, unexpectedly died in front of me... there was nothing I can do... I was 22. I'm now 24 and going to be 25 in a few months, and feel so lost. My Dad was sick for a few years and died at the age of 44 when I was only 17. I would like to find one person to connect with who has lost parents at a young age... and especially someone who has been through a traumatic experience like someone dying right in front of you and there was nothing you can do. Please message me if you can relate. Thank you.
Thank you for your message, I completely agree cars really don't look out for motorcycles, the worst part was the road was completely clear that night and was only my boyfriends bike and the car about it's ridiculous. I find crying helps too although I find it quite hard to let emotions out as my boyfriend had such a strong character I feel as if I should be strong for him, I am so sorry to hear about you're father my thoughts go out to you x
