Bereavement

Yesterday, Friday, was awful...at least I got some sleep last night...not being completely mentally and physically drained helped today some...but the tears kept coming.

My niece took her mother (my sister) out of the house shopping for a couple hours today...thank goodness. I was then able to sit in Mom's room and tell her again (and again and again) how much I love her and that I so wish she could come home...her fall accident makes me sick to my stomach and I am so very sorry that happened...she was in horrific pain when I was able to get to her in Emergency.

I got to straighten her clothes and did most of her laundry...we will have to pick out one of her beautiful, bejeweled tops (from QVC shopping channel...she loved the compliments she got ) for her to wear...we have an appointment with a mortuary at 11A on Sunday, to begin the process of getting her out of the hospital and eventually getting her from Los Angeles to Portland, OR for a reunion with Dad. I've already got a whole stack of stuff to include with her for her trip...Make up bag, comb, rain bonnet...just things she might need. She was sharp as a tack at almost 94 and always worried about her make up and hair.

I have a feeling that I'll be back to the group...I know this is going take a long time.

I love you Mom...just had to say it again.
