Sunday morning wasn't that easy...

[Babs]

Had some bad news Sunday morning.

Unexpectedly, and completely out of the blue, my mum had a heart attack.

She stopped breathing, and I revived her once, but she kept slipping back.

The paramedics revived a few times, then thought they'd got her stable. Took her to the hospital, where her heart stopped beating again. It went on like this for about half an hour.

She was pronounced dead at 9:44 Sunday morning.

I'm only 20, this isn't supposed to happen. I really have no idea what's going on.

RIP :(

Sorry to hear

I cannot even begin to imagine what you must be going through :hug: Do you have a friend or relative with you?

My best regards

Mo

[Babs]

Yeah, I still got my dad. To be honest, he's worse off than I am.

Just trying to get things together, and keep us both busy.

I (or we) just need to keep going, really

[Tom_vRS]

Terrible news indeed. I can't begin to imagine what it feels like to lose your mum, let alone at such a young age. I'm 22, and can't imagine life without mum.

My heart goes out to you... :hug:

[pdhealy]

Sorry to hear that news Babs. My thoughts are with you and your family.

[DAZ]

Very sad news indeed :(

I can't imagine what you are going through.

[Babs]

Thanks for the support everyone!

[devonutopia]

Sad news! :( and 11/10 for your efforts.

[Emily-Elizabeth]

Oh Honey, my heart goes out to you. I am also 20, and don't know how I would cope.

Keep being strong, and know that we are all thinking of you and wishing you the best.

That is awful news, I do hope you find the strength for yourself and your Dad to get through this. Well done for your CPR attempts and like others have said, my heart goes out to you.

[KenONeill]

Not good at this sort of thing, but I can honestly promise you that it does get better eventually.

[mluton]

My thoughts are with you and your family.

I lost my mom at age 7, she was only 38.

[SteVRs]

Hang in there, and look after your dad. Together you'll make it through. It'll be hard for a while and there'll be a tendency to strike out at those around you but try to keep it together and you'll be fine.

Our thoughts are with you.

[ScoobyChris]

That is awful and I can't begin to imagine how you feel. :( Your friends and family will help you get through this

Oh my god. Really sorry to read about your loss.

[bengie]

really sorry to hear your bad news and i wish i could give some advice but i really wouldn't know to say. good luck to you and your family.

[stevenh]

I was 24 when my Mum passed away.

It does get easier with time, be strong for your dad but don't be afraid to show your sorrow.

My sympathies to you and your family.

[Harry_vRS]

Sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my father to a brain tumour when I was 16 whilst doing my GCSE's. Hard times, but life goes on and we have to get on with life.

Take care.

Babs,

Right now, nothing I could say would really do much good, so have one of these instead.

:hug:

How sad for you, lost my parents when I was in my late twenties, as people say you never get over it although things do get easier. I have just lost my twin brother in the last couple of weeks - he lived in America and I never saw him in his lasts days just back from his funeral - hit me hard but the best thing for me was having a good heart when I got back with some with some good friends - in your case if you can open up with your dad that will help

[blackmagic]

She will always be with you in your heart and the memories you have of her. I can relate to how you are feeling, having lost my Dad 5 years ago, the day after my 20th birthday to cancer. As others have said it does get easier given time. Pull togethr with your dad and try and be strong for each other.

My thoughts are with you.

Rich.
