Profile Information

About Me:
I am a single, professional living in Atlanta, Ga.
About my Loss:
In Septmber 2012 my relationship of ten years was ending due to my partners affair. After having tried to work it out I found that it was just not in me to forgive such a betrayal so we planned for her to move out, which she did sometime around the 18th. I cannot remember the exact day anymore but I do remember that she had done nothing to prepare for the movers and I had asked my very healthy 69 year old mom to come and help me pack her up.
Mom did come and as always she was a trooper, working circles around everyone else.
Two weeks later my baby sister went by moms home after I phoned her and told her I had not been able to reach mom all day. She had a cold and I wanted to make sure she was okay. My sis went by and found our mothers truck door open with her papers for work thrown all around inside. My sister went inside and found our mom unconscious in the floor. She called 911 and she called me and I races from work to meet them in the ER.
My moms body tempature was in the 80's and she was wrapped in a bear hug blanket to help warm her. She was incoherent and fighting them as she was at deaths door. They tilted her upside down to help raise her bp and then they suddenly threw us from the room telling us they were trying to save her life. It was terrifying as this woman was our world, our everything. My older sister and Nieces and other family began arriving and we were ushered into a room where we were told that mom was in a semi coma and being taken to ICU where they hoped to save her life but it did not look good
For a week we stayed by her side and begged her not to leave us. I, who am not religious, dropped to my knees beside her and begged god to save my mother.
I credit God and her amazing team of doctors for pulling her thru. It was a miracle because people do not often survive what she did. Doctors from other floors and lab people and the amazing ER people came to meet her because she was the one that survived and fought back from what she should not have.
While this was going on, my house had been on the market for four days and it sold! I was thrilled as I could stay with my mother while she recuperated and I looked for a smaller home to buy.
Life was amazing and we were the luckiest children in the world to have this miracle happen and give us out momma back!
Mom, who everyone called Meg, was transferred to the best rehab center we could find and she would learn to walk well again and get her strength back. She was there 30 days and being released when my sisters and I grew concerned about her headaches. They had not been able to do am MRI up to now because she could not stay still enough. I decided to call the hospital administrator and tell her my concerns. She agreed to have an MRI done immediately.
That night, the only night my mother had been alone I got a call from my sister that the MRI showed something and the doctor would be in early to talk to mom. It was agreed that I would go to her and spend the night to be with her in case it was bad news.
The following morning the surgeon came in and told mom that she had a Glioblastima Multi Forme 4 brain tumor and it was inoperable and deadly. He gave her three months to live. As my mom was telling him he does not know when she will die., I was laying in her arms crying and devastated as SHE comforted ME! She was strong as kudzu and soft as butter, my mom
She amazed me everyday of her life but nothing came close to the woman I got to know over the next eight months when I moved in with her to be her caretaker along with my sisters and her owns sisters. It was the honor of my life
to care for her until she died in our arms May 20, 2013 as we whispered our love to her It devastated me and even today, a little over a year later it is unbelievable to me . I cry for her everyday and I cry for me. I want her back, I NEED her back. I write to her , I talk to her , I miss her like the sun!

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
