Nothing is as it should be –
My Mom lies waiting for death…
My brother and I sit by her side…
I can’t find anything I need…
My body and mind can’t rest…
I know neither what time it is
nor what day it is…
My body aches and my heart breaks…
It’s so cold…
I’m okay one minute and
tearful the next…
The kindness and compassion shown
to me by friends, family, former students, parents of former students,
colleagues, and the staff here at Morningside is overwhelming-
more than I could ever have imagined –
Yet, I’m completely lost…
All I have to remember is there is no
wrong way to do this…
It is unprecedented.

Your friend Jackie’s comment is beautiful. I wish someone could have opened my heart and mind like this when my Dad was waiting out time to die. Love to you and all who love you.

Ask Dot what to do. She’s still there in your heart and mind. You know what she would say if she were physically able to do so. Hear her voice in your head and your heart. I’m sure she can help – she always has been able to help you before and that won’t change. You just listen differently now. Love and prayers.

I think I know what she’d say, but it’s still so hard.
