My mom ended back in the hospital and I ended up in the ER for a severe panic attack. My mom should be going home tomorrow. I am looking to be paid to care for her.

I have been surviving but it’s been really rough as I have been all alone in an empty house. My mom has been my rock and I am not sure what I will do once she is gone.

I understand being alone in an empty house. Although I do have a dog, but that only helps so much and she is getting old now. The online friends help and I have my church family here local, my blood family is all quite a ways away. My hobbies help too and going to game with friends helps. But I have found I have to find reasons to get out of the house and then do it. It is tough and a learning process and it takes time. Be kind to yourself, focus on the good memories and counseling is a great thing too. The hospice center my wife Janet was in had free counseling for about six months and I can come back if I need it. My family doctor can also refer me to someone if I need it. There are support groups IRL and online, Facebook has support groups of various kinds. Talk and ask for help, and be present and open with people. For me prayer helps and reading my Bible and studying things out helps and again my church family is a great help.

Thank you all for all your kind words and prayers, I really appreciate them.
Just an update my mom is dying and only her pacemaker is keeping her alive. I don’t know what to do. I am sure that I will survive but I cannot see how. She was my rock. I am watching her die in front of me. I am all alone right now. Waiting for family to come or get back to me.

My mom passed on about 3:30pm pt after her breathing mask was removed. It took her about a half hour to pass on. Both my sister and I sat with her in final half hour. Thank you ever so everyone who sent their best wishes and prayers, I truly appreciate it.

Thank you ever so everyone who sent their best wishes and prayers, I truly appreciate it. Sorry to hear this. My Dad passed away in 2000, a couple of months after his 75th birthday. My Mom (at 85) is still vital, with most of her faculties intact, but getting slower and slower each day.

Hexenritter Verlag I am so sorry for your loss, but I am glad that you sister was there with you and it is my hope that you were able to comfort to each other. I lost my mom just over 10 years ago and I know first hand how difficult that loss is. Just know that we are here for you. Let me know if you need to talk or vent or both. And just know that you are not alone and in spirit I am sitting there with you right now. I am praying for you and your family at this time.

Like most cliches, this one is born of truth: Happiness shared is doubled, sorrow shared is halved. Hexenritter Verlag, having people physically around you that care is balm for your soul. We here do what we can, too. Heal. Become well. Grow closer to family. May good come from this loss.

Thank you I really appreciate it. I am spending time with my sister and her family. That said, though I appreciate my dad trying to give me advice and support, but he is doing more to push me to be defiant to his low opinion of my mentality. I just want to prove him wrong. I know his heart is in the right place but he wasn’t in my life when I needed him most. I love him but his assumptions are misplaced. I am glad that my sit and I am bonding over our loss and shared grief. I am glad to be apart of this forum as the members are some of the kindest people I know on social media.

Hexenritter Verlag, I have not been on for a while and I am sad with the recent passing of your mother. My mother and father both passed about 25 years ago and I feel deeply your grief and loss. Please remember that we all care about you and please let us know how you are doing. Find joy in the little things anywhere you can and remember all the good memories.

Ebon Hearted Soul my heart breaks for you. I spent a week with my Father before his passing 2015, I cherish the memory despite his being bedridden with terminal cancer. He sorely missed as I am certain your Mother is. I celebrate the legacy he left behind in the form of family...my sister, half brothers and steps. Prayers and positive thoughts you way!

Potentially positive news. My sugar was off the chart when I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic years ago. With the help of my doctor, a variety of meds and lifestyle change the doc took me off one of the meds yesterday. Woohoo! Still a ways to go, for now still a lifelong malady but who knows? Another day closer to a cure 😀

I'm hoping to cut down on my own diabetes meds at my next evaluation appointment (in February).

I have high blood pressure but taking steps to improve it, but I do not have either diabetes or high cholesterol. I do have a hernia that needs surgery eventually and to get some dental work done. That all said my main issues are grief, getting my life moving forward and deal with both my depression and anxiety issues.

That all said my main issues are grief, getting my life moving forward and deal with both my depression and anxiety issues. Hey! Except for the grief, you're doing better than me. I got my hernia fixed a couple of years ago, by a doctor in Las Vegas who specializes in fixing hernias without using mesh . . . and in taking out screwed-up mesh that other doctors put it. He's got a wall of jars in his office containing gruesome-looking samples of screwed-up mesh. The doctor's name was [is] Kevin Petersen: www.noinsurancesurgery.com/about-us.htmI flew in the day of the surgery and flew out the next day. It was done as out-patient surgery, but Dr. Petersen had one of his staff sleep that night in my motel room with me, in case of complications. The surgery cost $4000 (total). Including economy plane tickets, hotel room and meals, the entire affair cost right at $4,500. I also need some dental work - three implants to replace teeth shattered from the continual pressure of grinding them in my sleep over the past few years - but it's not an emergency. As with you, depression and anxiety are my main issues. The latter has actually been helped by changing my shift to audit . . . where I hardly ever have to interact with disgruntled guests or indeed speak with anyone at all.

I am embarrassed to say this, but I am having a really difficult time with anxiety about this injury. I have been getting a bit of a runaround but now finally should be able to see the "right" doctor on Thursday. I hope.
I am glad but also really scared. Not happy. Just posted on my sub and finished some work and I just feel terrible.
