My mom was my soul helper and the only family I had. She came home from the hospital with the hope of having two more months with us on hospice care, but things went tragically wrong. The nurse who was supposed to set up her machine made a mistake, and for hours I watched my mom struggle to breathe, in agony, while I pleaded for help. By the time another nurse realized what was wrong, it was too late. They tried to ease her pain, but she was already going brain dead, and I had to witness her last moments in unimaginable distress. Losing her so suddenly and in such a traumatic way has left me heartbroken and struggling to cope. I am the only living family member she had, and I am doing my best to keep going for my child. I have been in counseling for four months now, trying to process everything that happened and find a way forward. The financial burden of her funeral and the emotional toll of this loss are overwhelming. Any support can help at this difficult time, as I try to honor my mom and take care of my family.
