I feel bad my mom didn’t know she was going to die

My mom’s death was sudden and unexpected. She had laid out clothes the day before she went to the hospital, anticipating celebrating me and my sister‘s birthdays the next day. I still have those clothes laid out now. Something that has bugged me ever since she passed is that she didn’t know she was going to die. I feel so bad that she couldn’t say goodbye to anybody or get anything together. I know it’s almost impossible for people to know when they are going to pass, but this feeling has been really hard for me to reconcile with. Does anyone else feel this way?

Hello @Cbulikowski,

I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom. Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m just giving your thread a gentle, “bump” for you - hopefully someone will have some thoughts to share.

Take good care,
Alex
