I asked this question when I was scared about my mom dying. Well it happened 5 weeks ago. She went from fully functional and healthy to barely functional and me being her full time care taker and then passed.
Taking care of her and going in and out of hospitals sleeping in my truck I hadn't slept in my bed for at least the past 4 months.
I just stayed living downstairs and sleeping on the couch the past 5 weeks.
I finally slept in my bed the first time the night before last.
And of course I am now leaving my door open now.
Back when I posted this which was almost exactly a year before she died I felt like sleeping with my door open anyway, maybe a subconscious feeling of worry about her? As she declined I started leaving our bedroom doors open in case something happened and now it's weird not having to close any doors in the house for any reason other than to keep heat in at times.
