My mother's mother has been in hospice care all week. I called her the other day and she was so out of it on morphine that she fell asleep on the phone. I was told I was lucky to get a whole five minutes with her.
Last night as we went out shopping I cringed at the bill and my partner told me that he would give me the money for a plane ticket if I needed it. I snapped at him and said "My grandmother's not dead yet."
My brother called me last night at 1:30 a.m. to let me know that my grandmother probably won't last the weekend.
My cousin called me this morning at 11:00 to talk about flower arrangements.
I don't know exactly what I'm feeling, but it's complex. Part of it is surprise at how quick this all happened, part of it is not believing that it's happening, part of it is not feeling the emotions until maybe right this second.
I just don't know right now.
Today is my first day off in like 10 days. I'm going to get something to eat and go take a walk. I need to clear my head.
