Thank you for sharing your grief here on PC. I'm so sorry for your loss. You wrote that, although you did the best you could, you can see how you could have done things differently. I suspect this is the way we all feel at times such as these. Hindsight, as we are always told, is 20 / 20. Here are links to 3 articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of grief & loss that hopefully may be of some help. The first article, by DocJohn, provides links to quite a number of additional articles on the subject:

I know the feeling.
Possible trigger:
I hate to say it but that feeling probably won't go away completely. Just keep reminding yourself that there was nothing you could have done. |

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry you lost your mom, especially so quickly. It sounds like you didn't even have time to adjust to what was happening. I know what you mean about feeling like you failed her, but I'm guessing you did the best you could in the moment. I did the best I could in the moment too but I'm harder on myself than I ever would be on another person. Part of me just wants to go back in time and do things over, as if it could make the outcome different.

I am sorry for your losses of loved ones. Losing a loved one is so rough. The quicker it happens the less time we have to prepare. I was lucky in some ways to have a couple years but in some ways this prolonged the grieving and anticipating grief. __________________ Super Moderator Community Support Team "Things Take Time" |
