- 62 retired clinical social worker.
- About my Loss:
- My 93yo mother passed June 28 this year. My younger sister neglected her badly; mother suffered 4 severe falls, 3 in the last 6 months. She passed in an awful nursing home, against her wishes. I was not able to convince my sister to have mother moved in with me 2 years ago after her first fall. In fact, she made it impossible for me to be a part in any decisions regarding mom's care and placement.
I am not doing well. I feel like I failed mom. I know she would not have suffered had I fought harder to bring her to me. The relationship with my sister is damaged beyond repair. Worse, the relatipnships witj my sister's two daughters, my nieces, have also been damaged.
I do not come here to be told there was nothing more I could do under the circumstances. It's ok to feel and express regret and guilt. I just need some emotional support, hopefully, from others having similar experience.
I am vascillating between deep depression and uncontrollable tears and anguish. My mother and I were very close. I was not with her when she passed...

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?
Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
"Hi Rosa,
First, I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Losing someone you love only two days ago is incredibly painful, and it’s understandable that you’re feeling unsure about what to do right now.
Personally, I don’t…"
