EbenezerTriumph: You Victor Omerigwe, a 30 year old man with over 50 monikers he uses to tr0ll and clone accounts of young girls on Nairaland unprovoked is crying to the mods for help. Hahaha Do I look like I am scared of bans or even deleting my account? If you are going to keep t£rrorizing young girls on this forum, then I will be your karma.

Everyone will die. We brought nothing and at the appointed time, we will leave with nothing. The realisation of this fact will go a long way. The death of a loved one should only be a reminder that your time to die will come. No one can change this fact. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

You just remind me the day I lost my mum, it was 15th November 2018 on Friday 4:53pm. What hurt me most is that dead didn't allow her to eat the fruit of her labour. Since then, I lost interest in anything that have to do with going to church and praying, with all her prayers and my family prayers yet dead still took her away from me and my siblings. I came to realize that some of the prayers we say won't change what has been destined to happen in our lives. 17 Likes 8 Shares |

It's such a heartbreaking/tearful experience for me that bears similarities with yours. Only diff is that it was my older brother and a different ailment. The doctors performed CPR on him, the machine couldn't detect his pulse/vitals, - He was pronounced dead after several efforts. Sometimes, I do get flashbacks of him taking his last breaths right b4 me and that makes my eyes well up with tears each & every time. This your post is a tough one I must admit. Water just dey comot from eyes @ the moment😢 [quote authors=DaddyRochie1642 post=127980893]It's over one year I lost my mother to stage 4 breast cancer, the breast cancer was not detected early, - I remember that day very clearly like it was yesterday, - It was on a Sunday morning, she was responsive their on her hospital bed, she was even smiling with the doctor attending to her, - I was there, my younger brother was there, my older cousin was there, we were there by her side, the doctor attending to her left, - Few minutes after the doctor left, mummy closed her eyes, - We immediately rushed and called the doctors to the situation, the brought their machine for CPR, the machine couldn't detect her pulse/vitals, - She was pronounced dead after several efforts. - I couldn't believe I just saw mummy die before my eyes, - My younger brother went nuts right there in the hospital, my older cousin shed tears, his eyes were red, I was too shocked, I just sat down beside her body and held her hand for over an hour, she was 52years old. - This memory plays in my head each day. - My younger brother was never himself After mummy's passing, - He developed some kind of mental health issues, it was so bad for him, - My younger brother became a complete shadow of himself, this is someone that is full of Life and energy when mummy was alive. - Doctor said it was schizophrenia which was triggered due to the loss of a loved one as he was very close to her. - With combined efforts, my younger brother slowly overcame the mental health issue, - Each time I look at him, I'm so glad we rallied around for him, I am so glad I played my role and stood by him at that low point in his life, I'm filled with happiness each time I see him. - Witnessing a loved one die in your presence is a scar for life, it can damage a person for Life. You can share your experience if you wish, it is not an easy thing to talk about. [/quote] 3 Likes |

I was with my dad at the hospital 12yrs ago (2013) when he died.. Everything seems to be normal as he was talking and joking it wasn't up to 3hrs before we lost him.. I watched him till he breathe his last and i couldn't do anything to help.. Probably the worst day of my life.. 2 Likes |

DaddyRochie1642: I lost my mother last year and this piece of yours brought tears streaming down my eyes again even though she was almost 80yrs old yet the pain still remains. She was simply the best and there is none like her. Kind-hearted and always looking out for those around her both family friends and strangers. I will miss her till the end of time. 7 Likes 1 Share |

7th of December 2023 at about 10pm, few hours to the naming ceremony, a day I will never forget, 6days after she gave birth to our one and only child during our first year of marriage. The trauma began when she started complaining of cramps in the morning, I called the doctor and we went to the hospital afterwards, they attended to her through the day and she was getting stable, we were waiting for her to finish the last drip and get discharged when all of a sudden she started gasping for breath and in the space of 30 seconds before the medical team could do anything she gave it up right before my eyes. Till today as I type, the shock hasn't left me, coupled with the fact that I was living with Anxiety disorder before the incident. This has taken me in and out of mental health clinics since then. The baby is barely 3months old, all by myself, life feels empty and miserable. I will forever live with your memories Eunice. I love you. 53 Likes 6 Shares |

Sitting beside my late husband (47) as he breath his last almost eleven years got me shattered. Thanks be to God and brethren from the church. It took years to overcome the grief. 8 Likes 1 Share |

It can make you go crazy if care is not taking; it will be as if na this life abi na d other world, as he is sleeping; hard to accept that the person is dead. If you're with the person and with doctor, you will feel that doctors don't know their jobs again, you will be forced to try all manner of first aid tactics you learnt in your physical and health education in primary /secondary school;all to no avail. May God take this away from us. 5 Likes |

Had same experience with the OP! My wife died on my laps! It's a damaging experience! She was diagnosed of pancreatic cancer,stage 4 in September 2020 and then, the journey and battle for survival started! At a time we were spending 250k every 2 weeks on chemotherapy! At some point I felt running away! She succumbed to the cold hands of death on May 17, 2022! Since then the memory has refused to fade away!! Well, time they say heals all wound!! It's never a palatable experience to loose one's loved ones, particularly, spouse! She kissed the dust at the age of 33! May her beautiful soul continues to rest in the bossom of her maker!! 20 Likes 2 Shares |

DaddyRochie1642:My mom died of stage 4 Ovarian cancer two years ago. Just like yours, she was 52. It was equally on a Sunday. I wasn't around...but my elder and kid sisters were there... Although I was on video call with them throughout the period. I remember watching her battling to breathe (even with the oxygen mask). Then she eventually stopped battling... and that was it. My life and that of my sisters have not been the same afterwards. Keep resting in peace mom😥😥😥 9 Likes 1 Share |
