Struggling to accept that my mother has passed (Assalamu alaikum)

Assalamu alaikum. I wrote about my dear mother yesterday and the kind messages helped, but I still have so many questions and a lot of anger. I know this is probably grief and maybe whispers from Shaytaan. Why didn’t Allah allow us to keep my sweet mum until she was old? Why did He take her from so many future moments? Why did she lose the things that made life human one by one - eating, bathing, walking, speaking, breathing? A woman so devout and gentle had to go through that. Didn’t she deserve a peaceful, dignified passing? I keep wondering if her death could have been prevented. The hospital seemed to misdiagnose her for two weeks and by the time they saw what was truly wrong she was too far gone. I’m overwhelmed and in so much pain. I talk to Allah out loud, I read and try to learn, but it’s so hard when I don’t know the deen as she did. I don’t have that same bond or certainty she had. Why would she suddenly get this pain and be gone two weeks later? Other people I know had different timelines - one friend’s mother had months to fight and passed peacefully, another is still undergoing treatment and expected to recover. You didn’t see how she suffered at the hospital. She kept going because I sat with her every day and because she put her trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. But I feel angry that this happened to her, to us. I know feeling that way is wrong, but I needed my mum, we all did. Now I’ll watch my peers grow older with their parents still here while my loving mother is gone. Why would the Allah she loved so much allow this to happen to her and to us? I’m scared I’ll be held accountable for these thoughts, but I can’t stop them. Please make dua for her and for me, that Allah grants her mercy and gives me sabr.

This hit me so hard. Tears here. You did everything you could by being with her - that love matters so much. I pray Allah forgives any confusion in your heart and rewards you for your care. Take small steps, don't rush healing.

Assalamu alaikum sister, I lost my dad last year and I remember that shock. Anger and questions are human, don't beat yourself up. Make lots of dua, give sadaqah for her, and lean on family. May Allah ease your pain and grant her the highest place.

Sending you a big virtual hug. I understand the unfairness feeling - it's brutal seeing others' timelines while yours was cut short. It's okay to ask why. May Allah grant her peace and give you strength day by day.

Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry. Sending dua for your mum and for patience - it's okay to be angry and confused, grief does that. You're not alone in this. Keep speaking to Allah, even the hardest questions. I'll pray for her Jannah and for your heart to find some peace.

You're allowed to feel lost. I admire how you sat with her and trusted Allah - that shows so much faith. I will make dua that she gets mercy and that your heart finds calm. Reach out whenever you need to talk.

I'm so sorry, sister. Hospitals can fail and it's devastating. Your feelings are valid - both anger and love can coexist. Keep talking to Allah, keep her memory alive with good deeds. Dua for sabr and mercy on her soul.
