Seniors: My mother was found deceased on the kitchen floor, this hurts so much what can I do?

My Mothers oxygen cord got caught on something, she fell and hit her head, maybe she panic because of no oxygen, She has been ill for a very long time. Will not know the true cause of death until the autopsy. I feel sick to my stomach and I feel like this is a bad dream. If you could tell your daughter one thing if you where know longer here and she was left behind, what would that be?

You may want to get off the computer for a while in order to get through this as you have become Top Contributor AND have 47% BA AND all in one month. Doesn't leave much time for all this grieving.

My condolences. I would tell my daughter (if I had one) that God loves her and has a reason for everything that happens. I would tell her to seek comfort in His Word (especially Psalms and the New Testament.) I'll pray for you, dear one. Time will make it better. It was just her time to go.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My mother also died in the home. She had a heart attack. That was 13 years ago and still seems like the other day. God took your mom when he felt it was the right time to do so. I find comfort in knowing my mom did not suffer. I know yours was ill for a long time but she died in the home and not agonizing in pain in the hospital for months on end. Somehow that kind of quickness comforts me.

Dear Rece, I am so sorry for your pain.

I am sure Many of us have experienced such a sad and unexpected loss.

Your mother would tell you she is at peace and loves you.

You will have all kinds of "what if" thoughts, that is only natural. I experienced so many thoughts that tormented me when my husband died. Eventually you will be able to realize she really is at peace, and while the sadness of the loss will always remain, you will eventually let go of the thoughts that torment you. Then you will focus on your happy memories and feel at peace too.
