Hi Everyone, I have just joined this link and I need to tell my story. I am still grieving over the loss of my stepson Scott, who died in is sleep, September 5,2009. He was only 28 years old. We had talked on the phone for hours the night before he…
Well I am 53 years old and I have allot of health problems going on with myself right now. I am disabled. Became disabled in 2008. I have PAD, DVT, COPD, and CANCER. I live day by day. I live in Florida, where I have lived since 2001.
Tell a little about the person lost...
First there is my dad. He passed away September 9,2008. He had a pacemaker and difibulator. He had to have his defibulator wires replaced and he never recovered from that. I thought I had lost my real father when I was 9 years old when my mother remarried and her new husband adopted all 4 of us. But I found my real fatrher in 2001 and I relocaded to be with my real father and pick up from where we left off. At least I got to spend allot of time with him till the day I was called and told to get to the hospital ASAP because it didn't look very good for him. I rushed there from work and then the doctor came out and told me that the prognosis wasn't good for him. I prayed for my father and asked the Lord to let my father, (which I called Pops), to stick around because I wasn't ready to let go and neither was he.He lived for awhile in the hospital untill they could do no more for him. He was sent to a rehab place where he went down hill from then on. I had to put him in Hospice, where he passed away that night. I really miss him very much. We still had allot of catching up to do. The hardest thing I ever had to do was have is defibulator turned off.
The second one is my step-son Scott. He passed away April 5,2009 In his sleep. I had just talked to him on the phone the night before and was laughing and joking around with him for hours. We said our good nights and then in the morning I got the phone call from a friend that she was comming over. Which was unusual for her to come over during the day. I could never imagine why she was coming over. When she had arrived she was crying and she could not tell me why she was crying. Then some more friends came over and I asked, ok what the hell was going on and why are all of you here? Then I was finally told that my step-son had passed away in his sleep. This has got to be a joke I thought. Am I in a bad dream and if I am, someone please wake me up. Just 7 months ago I lost my father. Scott has always been there for me and I could always call and talk to him about everything and anything. I really miss him very much. I don't know why he passed so young. I will know as soon as the autopsy report is done and sent to me. Untill then I just wonder if there was something wrong that I missed when we talked the night before. I sure miss him calling me and saying "What's up Mamma Dukes".
Well I made it through another day without my father and my stepson. Yesterday April 13th,2009 was Scott's 29th birthday. I had a cake for Scott and he wasn't there to share it with me. I know I will get through this because I am a very strong woman. It is just going to take some time. After all I had just lost my father 7 months ago.
