Afraid to look at my Mom's death certificate
Comments (1)socal2010 Just fold it up and put it in a folder to give to the bank. Thank you for the sweet things you said to me about my family. Brother bought a condo and sister went to live at her daughters house. I helped my sister pack up all the stuff left behind and we had some huge yard sales. But I dragged home tons of stuff in boxes. I only had a path thru my back bedroom. It has taken me a year to go through those boxes and I still have a hard time with the paperwork. I have to wonder why I felt the need to keep the things I did... what 50 yr old woman needs 12 hammers? There is something about seeing death on paper that makes it too real for me. I can not pretend if its in black and white on an official document... Looking back at those first days after Momma died, I don't know how we did it, we just did what we had to do.... I had to call everyone I love and find out where they were, know they were safe. I did this every day and sometimes several times a day for months. I made them all say aloud that they promised me they would not die within a year. I still have all that paperwork, it isnt going anywhere. I put it in a big manillia envelope in a box labeled 'stuff to sort thru later' Know that you are loved by many people and be open to those unexpected friends who will love you through this time. sending you love and peace...

Comments (3)Instead of intubating my mother on Thursday, we asked the doctors to give her something to at a least help her calm down...they administered a morphine drip...she passed away on Friday morning at 11:30 am. (throughout my mother's numerous hospitalizations, I called the hospital nurses' station to ask about her progress because I was normally caring for her at home; my body clock automatically had me up at specific hours throughtout the night because i would be checking on my mom's oxygen levels, or making sure that she ate to prevent nausea....See MoreMy mom has passed away.
