One of the most depressing things I've heard all year.

My condolences. I hope everybody gets through it allright.

I will agree that nothing any of us tells you is going to be very comforting, but I'd just like to say I'll be praying for you guys and with God's strength you will all come out of this as stronger people.

My grandma died of cancer 2 days before Thanksgiving but I can't even imagine the pain of my mom passing away unexpectedly.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Best wishes.

Sorry to hear man. I know its hard, I lost my grandmother after a couple months of her moving in with us.

I hope you find out what happened and why. Wish you the best.

Best wishes to your family. I can't even picture how I would, should, or could feel so I obviously cant give advice.

Jordan-

First, let me express my condolences to you and your entire family. You are indeed correct that the loss of ones mother is much more painful than when other members of your family (immediate or extended) passes away. What you need to do right now is just remember to breathe and try to keep your thoughts clear. It sounds like you're dealing with this better than some others in your family. You all need to rally 'round and support each other. Friends and neighbors will want to pitch in and help....let them because you will have plenty to sort out.

A little more than five years ago my mom passed away, she was just 57. A heart attack is what took her from us....I was there when it happened as was my younger brother. He was on the phone with 9-1-1 while I was administering CPR on my mom. The paramedics where there within 10 minutes but she was already gone. She died in my arms as I tried all I could to revive her. I remember every event of that Saturday afternoon so vividly to this day. Without question the greatest emotional loss for me. My mom was like a good friend to me....we got along great and I could talk to her about anything without embarassment. A day hasn't passed since her loss where I haven't thought about her. I've never got over the pain of her passing....its still there but to a lesser degree. Life still goes on but I keep her memory alive within me.

I'm not sure what else I can add at this time. Just remember what I said: your family and friends are going to be your greatest support in the coming weeks and months. Some days will be tougher than others and you'll find yourself asking why her....why now? Life has a way of throwing some difficult lessons at us. Dealing with the loss of a loved one has to be the hardest one of all. I will keep your family in my thoughts. Take care of yourself.

Jon
