Death and dying...

I lost another grandparent last night. One of my featured stories here for many years is about the loss of my dad's parents some years ago. This time it was Mom's mom.

Omi, as I called her, had suffered from Alzheimer's for several years now. She was bed bound and non-verbal so her passing really comes as a relief in many ways.

Sad... that she is gone...
Relieved... that her suffering is over...
Angry... that this wretched disease prevented the saying of goodbyes...

I'm home with my family on bereavement leave for a while. Not sure if that means I won't be on here much or if it means I'll be on here constantly. We shall see...
