My mother passed away on Monday. I'm having a very hard time. She had MS and I hv taken care of her since my dad passed in 07. She died unexpectedly and of course I was at work and actually my son found her, and he is having a worse time then me. She aspirated while she was eating and choked. The EMS man said that it wasn't just a chunk of food she was impacted all the way into the lungs so no matter how hard my son tried she wouldn't of been able to save her. I'm hurting because I feel to blame, I feel like if I would of been here she would be fine. I'm scared that she was scared, and I cant seem to get over it. Please say a prayer for my family, and especially for my son. He was so close with her and he blames himself.. I'm trying to hold it together because I hv three sisters that are all here because of her funeral but all i want to do is lay in bed and not move..

I’m so sorry for your pain honey! My mom had Alzheimer’s and I also took care of her. She died from lung cancer, she was diagnosed and then two weeks later she was gone. I blamed myself, that if only they had caught it sooner. So I understand how you feel!! Don’t feel guilty, it’s not your fault, it was her time, God called her home and she went. I’ve had to tell myself that a million times before I started to believe it. She is where she is supposed to be. I’m praying for your pain to be eased and that you find peace. God bless you!
destiny plays a very important role in our lives and this is how your mum was destined to leave...in this way, on this day and date. feel blessed to have spent so many memorable moments with her...feel blessed that you did not see her suffer from any disease....feel blessed that she did not endure pain and suffering...
God love your heart and that of your son. My Mom passed away 15 years ago this next Feb. 8th so I do know your heartache. I pray your guilt and that of your dear son's will subside quickly ~ it was your Mom's time to join our Father in heaven. All of us are on this earth for a certain number of days/years ~ death is unpredictable. The comfort I found in my Mom's death was that when she passed away, she was blind ~ now I know she can see and is holding my first child that I never got to see or hold until I join them. I use to be terrified of death ~ now, I know who waits for me and my fear of death is gone. I send you gentle hugs and prayers for comfort. Your Mom's love for you and your son is tucked inside your hearts ~ embrace the good memories you have.
Heavenly Father, bind the devil and cast him out, in Jesus name I pray.
Send Your angels to Your children for comfort and counseling.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Holy Father, please help Susan and her son deal with the pain of losing someone they loved so much. I ask that you give them a sign that mom/grandma is very happy with You in heaven. Let them know without a doubt that your angels were with her in her last minutes and she was not afraid. Amen
Women of God! God is with you every step of the way. You must know that in your heart. I'm sorry for your loss and you will recover in time, sooo lets take one day at a time. Remember the good times and start rejoicing God will meet you there. Peace and blessings to you 💛🌻🌼
Prayers are with you and your son. Our lives were written before we were born. It's all is God's plan. You nor your son is to blame. I pray the Lord take this sense of guilt from you and your son and replace them with loving memories of your Mother. I'm sure she wouldn't want neither of you to feeling this way. My Mother to has MS and I pray for her and love on her as much as possible. I know the many changes the patients go through. Praying for you and your entire family during this difficult time. So sorry for you all's loss.
Father God,I pray for this family the Lords peace is given to them. The peace that only he can give and passes all understanding. Allow God to show you his love and allow yourselves to feel his presence. God bless.
Its hard to say goodbye and not blame ourselves but its a part of growing. No matter what you say or do those thoughts will overpower all and any positive ones you try to tell yourself or even subconsciously know but its a process of shock, loss and healing. Time will heal both of you and one day he will understand how life works. We all learn everyday single day of our lives. Some days are a little more harsh. You both loved her but I bet she very happy she is again with your father and just as you are feeling horrible for him seeing that she felt a burden on you. Nothing ever ends nicely or it would never end. I pray for the heart of you both and the pain it is taking right now. God needs us all one day. Hers just happened to be now. If you were home the situation wouldn't of been able to be her time. It was meant this way. Not to hurt you. It was just her time.
Think of you Mother and how it would make her feel if she knew you felt responsible and guilty for her Death. You weren't there because you weren't supposed to be there. Everything happens for a Reason. Don't torment yourself for this. It was her time and she suffered some yes, but you must go on and forgive yourself for not being there when she passed. You and your Son are not Responsible. She was suffering and now she's not. You can be free and live a good life in her honor. Let it go..God has her in his loving arms now.
Let your hearts be lifted from this sudden heaviness. God wants me to reassure you that He is right by your side to give you strength and peace you need to get through this time of healing. I Thank God for using me to be the vessel to reach out and fill you with comfort. May He continue to pour His previous blood upon you and yours. My condolences go out with prayers for All affected.
Trust in Him, with all your hearts.

Prayers for your family.
Susan, I recently spoke to a classmate I hadn't seen in 45 years. As we were playing catch up he told me he went into cardiac arrest while doctors were performing value replacement. He was declared comatose and technically dead. As they were flushing out his body of drugs for organ donations he woke up 72 hours later!! He woke up to ill effects and walks around to this day health issues free. I asked him the big question ... What did you see on the other side? He said it was the most beautiful experience he had ever seen ... he's unable to explain the peace and love he felt. He said without a doubt once we die we go straight to heaven. I believe heaven is the best day you ever had on earth ... on repeat ... like ground hog day! Your mother is with the peace of Christ and all her pain is gone. I'm sure she's tired of hugging and greeting past family and friends who went before her. We will all meet again ... all of us. Cherish what you had with your mother and hug your son. Hug him everyday ... they are free. Remember death is a reminder that our home is elsewhere. (Elizabeth Kubler-Ross) Much love,
Mike E.

I pray deeply for you Susan for it won't be easy. I lost my mother suddenly in April and the hurt and sadness still remains but through pray and faith it will be bearable. Father Lord Jesus I pray that you comfort Susan and her family during this difficult time of mourning, give them the strength they need in Jesus name I pray Amen
Sweetheart, my Mom passed away too....so I know how you feel, which is normal. But...the truth is...if your Mom believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, and believed HE was raised from the dead....she is now living in Paradise, having the time of her life..and...if you also believe...YOU will see her again, and be together forever. She can still see you, and does, but she is also with GOD living in her Mansion...and being with her family that has previously departed. I promise what I am saying is absolutely true. If you want to know what your Mom is experiencing..go to Youtube.com and type in KAT KERR. You will be undone because she tells ALL about Heaven which is quite extensive, and the most wonderful place to be, Know that your Mom is at complete peace, doing fun things...and she's still watching over you...and your family. GOD BLESS YOU sweetheart....
Prayers for peace for you both.
GOD will give you new power!
Just recall the sweet moments you shared with her. You will be at peace.
Prayers for strength and comfort from Lord our God.
Jesus, You said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matthew 5:4, NIV). You are mourning; may God send you comfort now. Wrap his arms around you and hold you tight. Send the Holy Spirit. to comfort you and your son. Keep far from Susan those whose words and actions are no comfort. Amen. May God bless and comfort you through the days to come.
I am so very sorry for your loss.

Hello, God Bless you and yours and may he lighten the pain and produce the strength you need to survive and cope to live for what you are here for.You need to let your son know that God does everything for a reason. It was not his fault, you also need to let yourself know that too. I lost my mother also and I know the pain you are feeling especially since I believe you and your son were very close to her. Trust that she will Always be with you and both of you have many chances to still make her happy. Work together and let that bond be closer. I believe Her soul will smile.
Ameen Your Mother is in a Better place, I lost my mother too and i know the feeling, Ameen
I am So Sorry Susan!! Know that practically everyone blames themselves in some way when someone passes on and it's Never Your Fault! I see it that it was a very good thing that someone was with your mom at the time! I would be worse if she was alone! I hope you can find some peace in that. ~Sending Healing Light & Blessings to you and your family~
I prayed to God to have his angels wrap their wings around you and for God to comfort you, your son and your sisters that things will be alright. Put your trust in the Lord and lay your heavy heart in his hands that he will lift you you up. Know this that when the waves of this incident hit you embrace them because it is your Mom who is now your angel watching over you and letting you know it is going to be OK.
hi Susan ..pls dont blame yourself ..its no ones fault ..it would have happened anyways ..we can not stop what is meant to happen to us or the loved ones... i understand what is like to lose your mother my mum passed away 9 years ego from cancer i watched her die ..people say time heals but thats not true time forces you to accept the situation and keep moving on .. one day you will see your mum as Jesus promised us ..never lose hope ... I pray that the Lord gives you and your son peace and strength to help you keep going and to never lose faith ..<3
So sorry for your lost,we can not measure what god has planned for us but you can be sure he is on your side.
So sorry for your lost, the Bible says lean not to your own under, it wasn’t meant for you to be there or you would have been. Praying for you and family
I have been through this. I am so sorry for your loss! If you were supposed to be there you would have been. I am praying for you and your son.
I lost my Mom suddenly too, we got to say I love you and Goodnight but I never got a chance to say Goodbye. It was 2 years ago in February and I am still grieving. Peace be with you.

May God give you strength and take away your fear anxiety. Remember God is the author of life. If He opens a door, no one can close. And if He closes a door, no one can open. Please don't blame yourself and trust that it was your mother's time to join our creator.
May God comfort you and your son through this tough time. None of this was in your control honey. I ask God to clear your mind of guilt. Remember all of the good that you and your son did for your Mama. You two were a blessing to her and she to you. God bless you. Forgive yourselves.
Praying for you and your family. When God says it’s time.. it’s time...
I pray that God will take the hurt and pain away from you and your son for your loss.
Praying that God will release you from the bondage of blame, that is from Satan. I pray for peace and joy if she knew Jesus she is rejoicing in Heaven with Our Heavenly Father. Amen.
God bless you!! Tomorrow is my mom's birthday. She is in heaven now since 7/18/14 & it still hurts so very much. She also aspirated on meat at the hospital. She had dx of MS and some undocumented stokes. She was on a feeding tube the year before with 24 watch...I feel the hospital did her so very wrong! The nurse he called to tell me and said it was well over 5-10 mins that she went without air before they put her on life support. I knew she was gone then but we waiting for my Grandma (her mom) to get here from out of state before pulling the plug since there was no brain activity what so ever. Tell your son to not be so hard on himself...same goes with you...know that she's looking over you both from above. My last words to my mom were stern, about trying hard to live, and then she was gone from a meal the hospital fed her... It is easy to want to blame yourself but it is not out fault. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers
I'm so very very sorry for the loss of your mother. I know the heartache that that brings, even though my mother didn't die unexpectedly, because she had been sick for very long time. Nonetheless, it was devastating to lose her. She's been gone since 2011,and I still miss her as much today as the day she passed. Please don't blame yourself. If the EMS driver was correct, you couldn't have saved her either. I pray for God's peace and comfort for you and your son and your whole family. God bless you.
Well said. God bless you as well
Susan. I am so sorry about your loss! I am praying 🙏 💕in the name of Jesus to surround you and your son with peace. Comfort and strength. My father died 15 years ago and my mom passed away almost 4 years ago. There is not a day that I don’t think of them. In my prayers I tell them how much I miss them. Remember they are home in the comfort of the arms of Jesus! God Bless you and your son! May the Lord comfort you and give you strength
It’s going to be Ok. Just for now put 1 foot in front the other for now. Your mom knows how much you loved her and appreciates everything you did for her. She knows how much you loved her so keep her in your heart and knowing that you did the best you could with her
you and your son are in my thoughts and prayers
Time will heal you. Light a white candle and pray for her and your peace. God Bless you
I pray for the peace of God to rule and guard you heart and mind. In Jesus name. Amen
So sorry you are going thru this difficult time hun. Don't blame yourself. <3
