    My mom passed away sept 3 2017 she was in intensive care for 3 weeks was moved to a surgical floor then unexpectedly took a turn in the middle of the night. We thought she was improving.. Myself and my family are beyond devastated im just trying to take one day at a time.but this is so difficult

    Hi Janice, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I don't think there's any good way to lose someone we love, but it does seem to be especially hard when it happens in an unexpected way. It's wonderful to have family support, of course it can be so hard when you are all grieving (and probably in such different ways). There is good support to be found here with people who have had a loss similar to your own, and I would hope that some of our blogs could be a help too. Some of those include

    1. "Coping with the Loss of a Parent" http://www.griefincommon.com/blog/loss-of-a-parent/
    2. "Sibling Dynamics Following the Loss of a Parent"
    http://www.griefincommon.com/blog/sibling-dynamics-following-the-loss-of-
    a-parent/
    and
    3. "How to be Supportive When You're Grieving Too"
    http://www.griefincommon.com/blog/supportive-youre-grieving/

    I thank you for being here and for sharing this experience with us. I hope you can find the support and comfort you need. All my best ~

    I am so sorry your mother had to go through that my sister suffered internal and outside injuries and head trauma from being dragged under the truck it just hurts knowing the guy that hit her And her boyfriend was drinking and she did not and still has not got justice our family has not been the same since either I can only imagine the kids of your mother must be just as difficult and hard
