I've probably posted before about my mom and her being diagnosed with liver failure. Right now she's in the hospital, and I think her time has come. I think she is going to die from it this time. She isn't breathing well and is just confused and out of it. I knew that this day would come, and I worked to prepare myself for it, but it's just not the same. I feel so bad, not just for myself but for my dad and my sister, and my niece and nephew, and my mom's sisters, but also because in my messed up mind I think I had a chance to save her. Maybe I still do, maybe she'll make it and I still can, but I doubt it. I'm powerless to help her, and I love her so much.
Of course you love your Mum. It is a huge loss when your Mum dies, but I hope that this time she will pull round so you can tell her how much you love her and make sure she knows this.
Hugs.

I hope your Mom will be better. It's not your fault Cara. I'll be thinking of you and sending you positive thoughts. Stay close to your Dad and other family members.
I'm so sorry, I hope she will pull through. Don't blame yourself I'm sure you're doing everything you can.
Many of us have gone through the loss of a close person to us. We all really feel for what you are going through. I think it is common to ask yourself how you could have possibly intervened to stop these outcomes from happening. I still look back today and think about the loss of both my parents. But you can't beat yourself up over these things, it is all hindsight and your mom wouldn't have wanted you to.
I'll pray that your mom is comfortable and that she can pull through this crisis.
Your prayers for her and to her are, indeed, a powerful way to help her. And, to help yourself come to grips with this challenging time. You appear to be quite kind and insightfully ‘present’.That is, in and of itself, a blessing to her and your entire family.
Blessings, sweetie. This is never easy and no cliché will close the puncture wound that is the loss of a close loved one. If this is the moment, do not rush through your grief process. It must make it's way into the tapestry that is your life at its own pace.....Stay in touch here. We care for you.....Judith in Portland
