Sue's Death

Dec 17, 2013 21:47

Robin's mother, Sue Katz, died today. It's been so terrible. I had these morbid thoughts all of yesterday, and then I was dreaming and Josh was calling me and I had dreams of an emergency. Josh called me twice and then a third call from Robin woke me up sometime around 11 or midnight. Robin's mother had fallen in the bathroom, her father ran upstairs and performed CPR, and then an ambulance came and took Sue to the ICU. Robin and Josh flew out to Cleveland this morning and made it only an hour or so before they found out Sue was brain dead. Then they all made the decision together to unplug the life support.

God damn it. So young. So suddenly. Oh, Robin. I wish I knew what to say or do. I wish I could do SOMETHING. The only thing I'm doing is sitting at their house, taking care of their laundry and eating their food (Josh said to since it'll go bad...they bought a one-way ticket). As the Jewish process goes, Sue's funeral will be at the end of the week, and she'll be buried before Shabbos.

I wish I could do anything else. I love her so much. I don't even know what to say to her. She got on the phone, and I cried with her. I don't know if that's what she needed. There's nothing I can say to make her feel better. Robin lost her mommy today. That's all I can think of. God, Poor baby.
