Avatar m tn What you are experiencing is extremely common, and normal. When we are dealing with the loss of a loved one, it brings our own mortality into sharper focus. The death of someone we love is unquestionably, in my opinion, THE most stressful life event we must all endure. And that stress can manifest itself in countless ways, anxiety being very close to the top of the list.

916131 tn?1318681712 m so very sorry on the untimely passing of you friend. She was very fortunate to have you. Melissa, her death was not your fault! Unfortunately, she did not have the coping skills to situations that in reality were temporarily. If she would have only held on one day at a time and one step at a time. What you are experiencing is the loss and the grief process has many stages and it will take time.
Avatar n tn It will be necessary for you to go throught the stages of the grief process and it will be very difficult, but with the help from God and one day at a time you will be a survivor.

Avatar f tn You will have good days and you will have very bad days, but it will be necessary to go through the stages of the grief process and it will be very difficult. Death is raw and there is no way around this one. I have cried like a lost child searching for my mom. I once went to the cemetary to visit and through myself on her grave, alone, sobbing and wailing calling out for my mother...I cried "mommy, where are you?....where are you? It is devistating.
Avatar f tn I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Ladies are right please take care of yourself and the baby your mom would have wanted that. Maybe you can drink those Ensure drinks with all the nutrients if you just can't stomach food. You are in my prayers.

Avatar f tn When it became evident that she was in the final stages and gasping for breath they administered morphine, orally, then a suppository, then orally again. It all happened so fast but when the last dose was given I was overwhelmed.
