Reply #33: I lost my mother in 1998, and I was her caregiver [View All]

My brother and I do not speak since then. I blame him for her dying as he would not allow me to change hospitals. The hospital killed her, and I had felt I had to change her to another one. She had pneumonia, and I caught the nurses or nurse's aides while she was in ICU feeding her pudding while she had a breathing mask on. Even I had been told not to feed her when she had the breathing mask on! She was aspirating the pudding and I heard the noises assoicated with that. Once I pointed it out, they whisked me out of the room, and tried to clear out her lungs.

She rapidly went downhill after that.

Mom, I miss you....you were my best friend in the whole world. I am sorry I was not able to protect you better.
