Condolences. A bit surprised you went into work the next day, didn't you take some time off/bereavement for yourself?

@PatKirby Thankyou sir. I took two days off. I could have had more. My boss was ok with it. I couldn't. I'm way too busy.i still talk to him now. It's all good. I help my mom alot. I call her everyday.

@Eddiesolds That's good. It was rough for me when my mother passed two years ago yesterday. Absolutely no one stepped up to the plate and helped. I was forced to take care of all the arrangements alone and learned a lot about people and the death industry. Everyone from the nursing home to the emergency room to the funeral home etc. demanded their bite. She told me she wanted to die months before which was disturbing. The first year I would wake up 3 or 4 in the morning hearing her voice loudly calling out to me as clear as day. Hospice really helped smooth out the rough edges a lot. It's much better now. Did hospice contact you?

@PatKirby while he was sick. He just wanted to be home. Hed have to be rushed to the hospital a few times. The last time he had an emergency was the last time. He died a week later in the hospital. It was for the best. He was suffering so much. He died while he was sleeping. I always hoped that he would die that way. Just in peace. No stress. My sister has taken over all the important stuff. I've always worked around that house, so that's my job anyways. I do alot of driving my mom around when she needs it. My brother helps out. I dont where but he does. Lol! My mom never has to worry. She still does though. I dont know what to say to her anymore. It's just in herself I guess.

I can tell you're good people and come from a good family. Things take time, but it will all pass. Good for you.
