    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My mom passed away on Thanksgiving day 2007. She was only 59. She had lots of health problems but none that I assumed would take her so soon. She was also an alcoholic and it has been a rough couple of years dealing with a lot of other problems surrounding my mom and when I moved up to AK last year I put distance between us because she wouldn't help herself and she wouldn't let us help her. At the young age of 32 I am parentless. My dad also died at age 51 in 1999.

    • Close Degenerative Joint Disease

      I was just diagnosed yesterday with DJD. I am extremely depressed as this comes on the heels of my mothers death in Nov. She suffered with DDD and exhausted all medical treatment. It was emotionally draining on my family and I don't want to live like that. I can't be my mother. I can't imagine a life of pain. A month before she passed they built a cage around her spine to negate further degeneration or collaspe. The day before she passed she has seen the Dr because she was in pain again.
