I Always Blame Myself For Everything That Goes Wrong

Time flies so fast. I could still remember like it was just yesterday when I held my mom's hand and hugged her so tight and whispered in her ears that ' we're gonna get this through, please just wake up'.. But she never did. I could still hear her moan but she never opened her eyes. I'd never thought that that moment was the last time I'll ever gonna hold her close to me. I thought the doctors could revived her but she finally surrendered her life. I didn't know what to do. I was left shocked and numb. I couldn't take away my sight to her lifeless body on the hospital bed until tears flowed down my cheeks and I started crying like a little child. I couldn't utter a single word when I walk outside to tell my father what happened. Everything seemed black. I couldn't think. I couldn't speak. I didn't know who to call first. My life has been shattered into pieces. At that moment, I recalled the times I've been so stubborn towards her. I'd blame myself for what happened to her. I knew that it was all my fault. If I could just take good care of her, she's still with us. I was thinking that she didn't deserve to die, I do. I should be the one suffering, I should be the one who left, not her. I never utter the words I love you to her, ever. And it still haunts me to this day..

I miss her every single day. 😞

Seems this could be a common reaction. I think about how much better I could have been for my wife & how I would willingly have taken her place so she could now be with her adult sons. I'm sure she would have done a better job of supporting them than I am. But often life doesn't work like that. All we can do is try to do our best. It may nit always be great. Yet we just have to keep trying.

Don't keep punishing yourself. It only makes it harder. All the best. ☺
I am so sorry to learn that you are still suffering from guilt with regard to losing your mom. Please know that I felt the same way for a very long time after losing my dad...Hugs
