Answer #4

Aw, I’m really sorry to hear! I know that if my mom was going to pass away soon, I would think the exact same thing, seeing that me and her are really close. So I would say yes it’s normal. Probably even if you aren’t that close.

Thoughts and Prayers out to you and your family♥

It is a very natural thing to wish to trade places with someone you love so much when something bad happens. I personally do not think it is something that is wrong to wish for - to feel like that to me says you love your Mom very much, and that’s something which cannot be wrong, ever. I’m very sorry to hear about your Mom, I’m sure this is a very tough time for you and the rest of your family. I’m sure you’ll have plenty of friends and family who will be able to help you with the tough time you are experiencing, but just remember we’re here on this site to help too if you need us, even if its just someone to confide in :)

Answer #11

It’s not wrong, I agree with much of what has already been said here. I also believe that death isn’t the end, but a beginning of something we have no way to comprehend or understand. My mom was visited by my fathers mom when she died, she told her that everything is ok, and not to worry about things…my mom was very close to my grandmother, and quite upset when she died. I realize this probably doesn’t help much because you’d prefer your mom wasn’t dying…but it’s something to think about anyway. Make her proud by doing something special with your life…I’m sure that’s what she would want. Take Care…

Answer #12

it is normal when sister six year dughter was dying the mount of times I wish it was me.that was 15 years ago I have not lost my mother or father but the are both not well the both have long term illness.it scares me so much.I love both my parents and try not imagine life with out them.its hard I know I have lost very close friends and family.like I said it 15 years since my niece holding her hand praying she would get better I was only 18 . but honest to god you never get over them but you do get through it I promise you.just keep talking to family and friends .please take care and iam so sorry you have to go through this .my prayers are with you and your family xxx

Answer #13

Awww, I’m so sorry. Both my dad and my step dad have died. I know it’s not the same. I don’t know what it is like to lose a mom, but I do know what it is like to lose a parent. It is not wrong to wish to trade places with her. That is human nature for a child/parent relationship to want to take her place and keep her from pain or from worry about the unknown. God can heal, pray a lot and I will pray for you too.

On a side note: Please do not be upset with God if this does not turn out the way we hope it will. There is a reason for everything, and one day we will know what it is. I wish I could say more to ease your pain, but for now I will just say Peace be with you.

hugs, Kimmie

Answer #14

im sorry all I can say is its her time and things will work out eventually

Answer #15

it shows what a wonderful caring person you have become no doubt because of your mothers teachings and advice and I am sure if it was you that your mother would be willing to take your place as well,if your mother should go to heaven just know she will be in a glorious place and that we are the ones that have to deal with the pain of loss because those that have passed on feel nothing but peace. that is my opinion anyway. God Bless you and your mother I will say a prayer for you.

Answer #16

it just shows how much you love your mum and how much you put yourself before others… I wish you both all the best
