Anniversary of my Mother’s Death
Author: JustMe
Well today – November 21st, is the 18 year anniversary of my mother’ s death. It’s something that I guess I will never fully get over. My mother was one of the nicest people you could have met. She was kind to everyone.
My mother died at the age of 44 – very very suddenly from a catastrophic heart attack. She was doing laundry one morning, getting ready to leave on a trip with my father that day. She had deep chest pains, but then just thought it was gas or something, but then the pain got worse. When my father went to take her to the hospital she collapsed in the hallway. She was rushed to the hospital – where she was in a coma for 3 days. We later found out that she had died and been brought back several times in the ambulance – she had to be taken to a hospital an hour away for proper treatment. On November 21st, after getting the brain scan results, we pulled the plug. It was the hardest thing to ever do – but there were no brain waves and she couldn’t live without the machines. The experience of seeing her like that I will never forget.
I miss being able to talk to her and her support. Even today it is something very hard. My mother never judged people and was nice to everyone. She was truly a great person and was taken away way too soon.
I love you mom!
