A year ago, my mother passed away from lung cancer. I was not there at that moment, and I could not say goodbye to her. It wasn't until five months later that I was able to visit my mother's grave. Although I continue to live on, for the sake of my child, I still feel guilty before my mother that I was not with her until the end.

Alex, I didn't mean to cause offense with my earlier post. I should elaborate on my thoughts a bit more. When my mother passed away, I was going to go visit her the day before but decided to wait until the next morning. By the time I made it to her house (about 50 miles from my house) she died of a massive heart attack. I never got to say goodbye. I kicked myself pretty hard. In talking with my Pastor, he told me that I was not meant to be there at that time. As I look back at it, I think there is truth to my Pastors thoughts. My thoughts don't necessarily reflect how God operates but my talk with my Pastor just gave me comfort and also helped me to understand more of how to cope with death. I sure hope you can find comfort and peace. 🙏
