Feeling sad, but trying to hide those feelings from others.
About Me
On June 4, 2008, my Mother died after years of the gut wrenching pain of suffering while on dialysis weekly (end renal kidney faiiure) and amputee. I was so very close to my Mother and spent a tremendous amount of effort, energy and time in making her as comfortable as I possibly could. She was usually always smiling and always could lighten up the room with her jokes and positive nature. The Dialysis failed to dialyise her the day she died adn FAILED to contact us or the doctor and tell him so she could get the help she needed...she died as a result...loving her two grandchildren that visited weekly and my Dad. I am the Founder of the first perpetual care cemetery to open in Wake County in nearly fifty years...another day and another story on that chapter! I have a very supportive and loving husband and two adorable little boys, aged 7 and 3. I am very sad right now and trying to work through the emotions. If ANYONE can help me ease through this pain...I would love to talk to you. God Bless each of you!
Interests
Being a strong ethical Christian, keeping my faith. I love to read and read some more. Especially right now many books on the other side (John Edwards, etc...) and death and dying. My two little boys and my loving husband are my interests as well as I want to provide a supportive loving home. It is hard being upbeat right now with my sadness. My other interest is helping others and being there for seniors that are so sad, lonely and seem forgotten in some of this horrible sad resthomes. Cake, tea parties, magizines, games, etc... to bring a smile.

Close Bereavement
: Loss of a ParentI lost my Mom on June 4, 2008 and feel very sad with not being able to speak with her, take care of her or to be able just to see her smile. She suffered horrible with dialysis and being an amputee, I am not sure how anyone could be so strong for so long. I miss her so much.
Treatments
- Crying Somewhat Helpful
- I will pick up the phone and try calling her and then I realize she is not there to pick up the phone...not today, not tomorrow, not ever and that saddens me beyond belief.
- Getting Angry Not Working
- I get so angry over her night LPN at City of Oaks where she had to stay being an amputee, etc...for NOT CALLING THE DOCTOR OR US AND GETTING HER TO THE HOSPITAL KNOWING SHE WAS IN TERRIBLE DISTRESS. THE STAFF WAS LAZY, UNETHICAL AND JUST HAD NOT COMPASSION TOWARDS HER AND OTHERS THERE.
- Helping Others Working / Worked
- I volunteer my time for other seniors bringing them food, flowers, gifts and magazines to read...but I still miss my mom.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- I can not and will not give up my faith. I have faith in God and will think of JOB everytime I experience the trials and tribulations that I do...
- Reading Working / Worked
- I have gone into the popular book stores and sat there on the floor just boo hooing and crying for hours thinking of my Mom...then I bought about 8-10 books on death and dying and the after life and read to melt my fears and sorrows.
- Remembering Working / Worked
- I go and sit by her grave and read my books and talk to her...it gives me some comfort.
- Talking Too Soon to Tell
- My poor husband...he is such a sport. I go on and on with no warning and relive past memories with tears running down my face...he has been very supportive and listens.
- Time Not Working
- I miss her more every day and remember my grandparents (her parents) and pray they are all together now laughing, loving and living... I am very spirtual and have felt I could speak to and have heard from others that have passed for many years now. They come to me in my dreams and sometimes right where I am speaking to someone with something important to say to their loved ones...SO I AM MOVED TO TELL THAT PERSON.
