- About my Loss:
- My mother lost her home in hurricane Sandy last Oct. and came to stay with me. Than she took a major stroke which left her unable to talk, walk, or eat she had to get a feeding tube. She was in and out of the hospital for 2 months. Than went to rehab for 3 months. That's all she could have because she exhausted the system and she was out of network. I bought her home and took care of her around the clock. I could not get much help. I had to learn how to do everything she was on the feeding tube I had to give her the meds through the feeding tube. It was very hard she also, had to have water every 4 hours. She even was over by $20. with area of aging. And of cause the health care plan did not even care to give her the help she needed. My children helped me and my daughter in-law. It was very hard to see her suffer and give her medicine around the clock. She could not tell us nothing and she could not even drink a glass of water. We were so upset. She could not move unless we moved her.
We bought her home in May and by the end of July she was put on hospice. It was very sad for her she could not breath very well and had to go on oxygen. We were told every day that she would pass in a couple of days.
And she did not pass until the 28th of August.
She went through a lot. It was vey sad to see her body break down and try to give her meds through the tube or her month. It seemed like nothing helped. I stayed by her side because I had to give her meds around the clock. She was so weak even when we changed her it would hurt her. Never did I ever believe she would ever have to go through this. I thought losing her home in the hurricane was bad but taking the major stroke took everything, She was a great mother a blessing to everyone I can not stop thinking of her and I stayed with her every day for 8 months in the hospital, rehab, and at my home took care of her around the clock. My hurt is hurting so much and feel so sad. She was a great great mother, friend I miss her and love her.

"its so hard xmas coz our loved 1s no longer with us so sorry on your loss "
Hitting me
My daughter did MAID last Tuesday and I've been holding up okay.But just now the Christmas convoy (trucks all lit up that do an organized drive through our small town) went by and suddenly I just started crying, thinking how my girl won't be around to have these small moments. And not that she would have - she wasn't a huge Christmas or celebration person. So I don't know why I'm sitting here crying about it.Oh this is going to hurt a lot :-(See More
