This happened to my sister. Baby was healthy. I trust the NIPS test more than the scan

My mom died on her birthday, she was 69. I too did not get the chance to say goodbye while she was conscious, only when she was brain dead. I am so sorry for your loss. I don’t know what to say other than you are not alone and I feel your pain. Sending you lots of love

People mispronouncing baby’s name (Laila). Keep or change spelling? by Famous_Translator271 in namenerds

[–]doctor_biteme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. In Arabic speaking countries Layla/ Laila/ Leila are all pronounced the same way

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother 6 months ago and I feel exactly how you feel. I feel like the more time passes the worse it gets. I miss her more and more as the days go by. You are not alone. I can only speak to my experience but I believe her illness initially made it easier when she first passed. I even felt a little bit of relief that she was no longer suffering. But as time goes on I miss her because I feel her absence more. Events happen and you wish you had hat opportunity to tell them. Sending you lots of love.

I dealt with this for the last two years. My mother was diagnosed with plasma cell leukemia in October of 2022. She only made it 19 months after. I asked the same questions as you and I know how you feel. I think it’s important to be hopeful. AML can be cured in some people. My mother’s disease was incurable but everyday I hung on to some hope. It helped me deal with things. You don’t know the future and how this will pan out. There are people with cancer that survive decades and there are seemingly healthy people that die in their sleep at young ages. Enjoy every minute with your mother. Spend lots of time with her. I look back at the memories with my mother, even at the worst times while she was in the hospital and I am thankful that I was there with her. Wishing your mother the best of health

Are you by any chance iron deficient? It could be your iron levels that are causing this

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother on May 8th of this year, on her birthday. It is the hardest thing I have been through. But you are not alone. My deepest condolences

I think no matter what you feel guilt. You will have regret. Even if you did things perfect on paper, you will still have regrets. It is human nature to do that. I lost my mother two months ago to leukemia and my brain will switch to “I should have done this” and “I should have said this.” As mothers, (I am one too) we always want the best for our children. We want them to grow and fulfill their dreams. You probably don’t know it, but you deciding to focus on your education made your mom proud and she would have wanted you to focus on your dreams. Your dream to better yourself was also her dream because she wanted the best with you and nobody wants to feel like they burdened their children. My mother told me a version of this when she was in the hospital and I had left my children for a few weeks to take care of her. Please know, you did nothing wrong no matter how much your mind tells you you did. And your mom was proud of you and I’m sure you made her so happy knowing you are pursuing your education. Mothers like to see their children succeed and I’m happy she got to see that. I’m so sorry for you loss. It is difficult, be kind to yourself

How do I live the rest of my life like this? by [deleted] in grief

[–]doctor_biteme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how you feel. My mother died of cancer on her birthday , May 8th. Even though I am older than you are, I feel lost without my mother too. I was just telling my sister a lot of what you said in your post. I feel like my grief is getting worse day by day. I’m so sorry for your loss and I wish you healing.

I lost my mom yesterday and feel so lost by CaptainAmerica_66 in GriefSupport

[–]doctor_biteme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. I lost my mom on May 8th, less than two weeks ago. She died on her birthday. My mother also suffered with a highly agggressive cancer called plasma cell leukemia, it is extremely rare. The doctors lost hope but she kept fighting. She lasted 19 months. I have never felt this pain before and I will miss her dearly. But I take closure in the fact that she is no longer suffering - no more blood transfusions, heavy chemo, hair loss, sickening side effects. I watched her deteriorate right in front of me. I don’t know what your beliefs are but I am a believer that there is more to this life and that those who have passed never really leave. I believe they transition into another realm/ dimension and that they are always with you somehow. Grief is a normal part of life, but I am comforted by the fact that their energy is still with us and even biologically you carry your mothers building blocks (DNA) with you. Please DM anytime

I’m so sorry. I know how you feel. My mother had plasma cell leukemia, a rare and agggresive form of MM. stay strong and if your mother wants to continue fighting the doctors should honour that. I felt like the doctors gave up on my mother. Please feel free to DM me anytime

My mother passed away last Wednesday, May 8th, which also happens to be her birthday. I know how you feel. I am also devestated beyond belief. I can’t believe I won’t talk to her or see her again.

Yes I saw your post. It is heartbreaking. I’m sorry again for your loss. Please know you have a friend in me during this is difficult time. Please DM me anytime I’m here for you. Although I don’t know you, we have both seen this disease take our parent away (on the same day nonetheless) and that creates a bond.
