This has been the hardest, most exhausting 2 weeks of my life. Nothing I have ever endured has been so horrible and painful, not even my own health issues can compare

She did know. I think she knew it was her final hours because when she could not speak all she could do is look at me and tears would stream down her face. It was horrible...I just can't describe what it feels like to see your own mother slowly die.
my beautiful v, i was so shocked to get your reply to my email. i just caught up on your journal and cannot believe the 2 or so week period you had! that's like the worst, cruelest joke of the universe i've ever heard of. i'm relieved you got to be with your mother near the end and hope your work is understanding and you get proper bereavement. (how'd your review go?) ...and that neil is appropriately spoiling you!
your dad will be ok. my mom didn't touch my dad's things for ages after he passed. i said i'd come help her go through stuff, but she wasn't ready to face any of that. people do such things on their own timetables. but i'm sure he appreciates your feeling for him. you're a loving person.
Yes, work gave me the bereavement time I needed and was as understanding as they could be. (note: Corporate America blows)
The review was good and my raise did not reflect the oh so shining review but, again as noted above about corporate America!
My dad really misses her. He is having a hard time coming home from work at nights to an empty house. It is still fresh though so, I hope in time he finds some small comfort. I feel terrible about him being there alone. =(
