Teresa (shortshot Nancy) Thank you for the wonderful word I just read. I knew Bob was close to death on the Tuesday before. He had called me to come and talk, "he told me" Mom you know I love you don't you? Yes I know and I love you too. "He gave me a kiss and then turned back to the TV. He ate all his meals on Wednesday and also on Thursday (May 3) I fixed his dinner of Clam chowder and some water melon and about 8:30 my son called me to help him put a night shirt on Bob. So I was trying to put his night shirt on him, while son was trying to lift him up. Bob was son unresponsive that son could not lift him.
I knew this was time. We called the other family members, told them was was going on and then called the ambulance. I had started to cry, couldn't help it.Ambulance came and I rode with them to the hospital (this was about 9pm. Arrived at the hospital, Doc said that he would not make it and they started the Hospice program. Then found a room for us all to be with him. Two son's were there and the third son arrived about 2am. Daughter was unable to be there as she was side with a bad cold. About 3:00 am, youngest son had to leave, I had asked him to bring me home. He said no mom, Jr can take you home, cause I don't want you home alone. Bob passed away at 6:10 am May 4. #2 son stayed with Bob till he passed. He was angry with me cause I didn't stay. I was so tired, exhausted and have my own medical problems. I also went to my primary doc yesterday and he added one medication to my list. Told me also that " things will get better", and I know time heals. Some of my grief turns angry and I don't like the feeling that it gives me.. Thanks for listening Teresa. Nancy
