My heart is broken
I don't normally use this space for truly personal stuff but you all are my friends and I could really use some friends and cyber hugs right now.
*takes deep breath*
My Mom died suddenly and unexpectedly last night. She'd been having various and numerous health issues over the past year but seemed to be holding steady as of late. You know... getting around, enjoying her grandchildren and quilting, which she loved. She went in to the hospital on Tuesday to find the source of some internal bleeding but her doctors seemed confident of correcting the problem.
They were wrong.
Long story short, we thought she was fine late last night so my Dad and I went home to get some sleep. The hospital called not even an hour later to say she had taken a "turn for the worse" - which may, by the way, be the hugest understatement EVER - and she was gone before we could get back to the hospital.
I'm pissed, I'm sad, I'm nearly catatonic from lack of sleep, but I'm secure in the knowledge she is in a much, much better place and finally free from pain and wearing her oxygen 24/7.
And probably smoking a cigarette. :)
Anyway. thank you for always being here for me. I've never met any of you in person but carry you close to my heart just the same. I'll be back in the the near future, I'm sure...
