I don’t even know what day it is

Aug 28, 2021 6:05 PM

I posted on this previously; her health declined rapidly and she was confused and fighting treatment and trying to leave. They did a competency evaluation and decided to keep her. She’s been doing great since then, responding to treatment and therapy well, she’s been moving around on her own, they even reduced her oxygen. She called me yesterday snacking on chips and just sounded like herself. Last night her husband calls and says you need to get here, the hospital was an hour and 45mins away and I made it in 20 minutes, but I didn’t make it soon enough. I can’t even get out of bed. We knew this was coming but we didn’t know it would happen like this. I’m sorry for complaining I know there are people that have it worse right now but it hurts so much. Edit: To those of you more concerned about the time in which I made it there, you must have never lost anyone close to you. Time stops and is sped up all at once. I blinked and hours had gone by. I made it there way faster than I should have, but calculating my speed is just ridiculous, especially based off an estimate of time in which my world was collapsing. If you want to troll someone like a cretin, don’t do it here. My lowest point is not your opportunity to be a dick.

This is called grieving. Every human being does it. Never apologize for being human. *hugs* It’s OK to feel like shit. Everyone understands.

Man, your mom died, you're allowed to be broken right now. This is a time when you get to ignore other people's comfort and focus on you.

I came through this in May. I wish I was over it already. My condolences.

I lost my mom last November to brain cancer six weeks after she was told she was in remission. Hit up my inbox if you need a friend.

Your pain is no less real or important just because of others might be worse. Condolences.

A similar situation happened to me when my mom died. I missed her by 45 mins. Don't blame yourself, and I can confirm it gets better.

Grief hits in waves. Some rougher than others. Just try to keep your head above the water. You’re allowed to feel however you feel. x

I lost my mom this year, too. It's a hole that feels bottomless, but it does get better in its own way. I wish you the best and I'm so sorry

Don’t apologize for grieving. Perfectly natural and normal response to losing a love.

1hr 45 mins away in 20 mins? Is your mother more important than other mothers driving the speed limits? Why jeopardize other lives speeding?

Just breath. Focus on your current breath, and that alone. It’s gonna hurt, and that’s ok.

You sound like such a kind person acknowledging other people's pain before your own. I've lost a parent from illness and you're allowed to

Feel this way. The enormous world of grief inside you needs time to heal. Please grant yourself that kindness.

This comment is good for one free custom hug for OP. You must be within 50 miles of Seattle & provide two hours notice to redeem.

If you were fortunate enough to have a mother you will miss, it was going to hurt no matter how. The pain we feel is the price we pay 1/?

I’d recently heard something like grief is just love with no where to go. We can’t give that hug, smile, shared moment. But it’s still love

for that loving relationship. While an awful price, it is still a bargain I think.

What is grief, but love surviving?

Other people’s pain does not diminish yours, or make yours less important.

You have nothing to apologize for. You're in pain and you're looking for comfort; there's nothing wrong with that. I'm sorry about your mom.

This definitely isn't complaining. You're going through grief, something that you should never apologize for. I am so sorry for your loss.

I lost my dad back in June and while he and I weren't on the best of terms, there is still an emptiness I feel. :/

Pain can't be compared to what others feel, it just is. I'm so sorry for your loss, and your whole family. You have to grieve your own way.

Why would you go out of your way to purposely hurt someone who is already hurting so much?! And what a dumb, baseless comment to boot.

1hr 45min @ 60mph = 105 miles, which seems like a safe assumption. To get there in 20min, homeboy went 318mph lol

Doesn’t it seem obvious he was embellishing a little to get the point across that he sped all the way to the hospital? Am I the only one?

Am I missing a joke or is this person just garbage

Person's just a total piece of garbage and has the reasoning skills of inert matter.

It's weird he could've done this while they were using the time machine and chose not to.

Something something 30 minute time slot? Also I think he had resentments due to everything that happened
