Profile Information:

About Me:: A single mother with a 16 year old daughter, just laid off from my job, company cutbacks.
About my Loss:: On June 12th 2017, I lost my mother at the neighborhood pool. We went to enjoy the day at the pool since I was laid off. She and I were planning a nice day together. Then what happened next was tragic. She went in the water to cool off she was in the shallow water on a floating noodle under her arms and she was floating in the water. I turned my back and was talking with a friend. About 5 minutes later I turned around and she was face forward in the water. I ran over to her and called for help and the lifeguards and even some nurses at the pool began CPR. Quickly the ambulance and police came. I watched her die. I felt so helpless. The autopsy and doctor said she had a massive heart attack and died with no pain. My mother had just turned 71 years old. She leaving behind a husband, a daughter(me) a son, and my daughter her only granddaughter.

Jennifer, I'm very sorry you lost your mom. I hope you find some comfort from this site. I lost my mom on May 17, 2017. I felt very helpless too. I thought she was going to make it, but she made a rapid decline in the hospital and I feel lost without her. She was 79.
