Tough to read, but honest and real. I admire that. Actually welled up a bit.
Sorry about your loss, and at a time that is normally joyous.

a little less than 3 years ago I lost my best friend to diabetes. It didn't make much sense, he was young, built like a bull, and his diabetes was well managed.
I didn't get a chance to really tell him how much I love him before his passing, and I know him and his wife had a bit of a tiff a few hours before he died.
But I know that he knows I love him, and as painful as it feels to know that you start to drift apart because of whatever circumstance is keeping you apart longer than you'd like ( we both got married that year ) he still knows that I love him. And he knows that his wife does, even if the last thing they did was have an argument.
I'm positive your mom heard what you said to her, and if she didn't at the time then she knows it now, I believe that.

I also lost my mom just some months ago while I'm only 18, and I understand what you're going through. Thanks for sharing this, and good luck with everything.

At some point or another you're gonna feel guilty for everything. Not going to see her at her place in 6 years, not forcing her out of being an alcoholic, etc.
Try to get over it quickly man. You're 24 (we're the same age), you just can't take responsibility in not watching over people close to you but that you've left only a few years ago.
Fight guilt as hard as you can.
Condolences

My mother died on November 20 of brain metastases. It's obviously different for everyone in this situation, but my thoughts are with you. It'll be tough: I hope you've got friends and loved ones who can support you, as I have had over the last weeks.

That was a really well written account of a truly awful experience.
I'm very sorry for you and your brother, frozen. Condolences.

I think... I can understand what thoughts are going through your mind and it has made me even more concerned about my own family. Thank you for posting this, and I'm so sorry for what you have to go through.

My condolences.
It was good you had the chance to be with her when she died. Your girlfriend sounds like a wonderful person too.
