Managing the Dying Process
I’m very conflicted. My mom just called to tell me that in her estimation, my grandfather only has about 48 hours left max.
We have plane tickets for the 19th. Doesn’t look like Grandpa will last that long.
But the information is very conflicted. The parties who we are getting information […]

Yesterday was a weird day. I didn’t expect to get the call during the day. I thought people always died of terminal illnesses in the early morning hours? I had spent the last handful of nights up at 3 am looking at the clock, thinking about how it was 6am […]
