My Story


My mom and I have always been close, always had a special relationship. On September 2 I got a call that forever changed my life. My mom had collapsed at church and was being taken via ambulance to the hospital. A few hours later I got another call, this time my best friend telling me how serious things were. Within three hours my coworkers had me on a plane (at zero cost to me!) and by 6 pm that night I was at my mom's side.

After three days in the ICU it was determined that because of how long her brain had gone without oxygen, she likely wouldn't wake up. On September 5th we made the most difficult decision to let her go peacefully. It was something she had talked about so we were sure it was what she would have wanted us to do.

My wonderful mother passed peacefully on September 6 at 6:10 am. She is already missed so much.

This blog is my journey through the grieving process. Hopefully that will keep my regular daily blog a little less depressing.

On this blog I will share some of my daily grief emails and also songs, poems and pictures that touch my heart. Hopefully this will help someone, but if nothing else, it helps me.

Sara Struminski · 2 mutual friends
She was such an amazing person and opened her home and heart to anyone and every one. I remember going there just to chat and visit for a few cause she always knew the right thing to say. I should have done it more... hope you and your family are doing well. Tell colleen I say hello
Robin McConnell I know you were her best friend for so long Sandie, and she spoke of you fondly so often. I too am missing her in the worst way. I loved her so much as a sister and best friend. I feel like there is a hole in my heart and I'm afraid to be close to anyone again. It hurts too much to lose them.
