Yeah, okay. Still, the talking and praying and reading the Psalms and what not were for the benefit of the living. That was my whole point.
Resentment over not getting to see her when she was cognizant is totally understandable but separate.
And pneumonia is what usually carries off the elderly after a fall, actually. They lie still for too long because they can't move because their old bones take too long to knit back up, and fluid collects in their lungs.

Waiting for "the phone call"...Follow
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
I'm sorry for your lost, Nexus.
I find the waiting eats at you far more then finding out of a sudden death. At some point each illness comes with the question will this time be the one that will take a family or friend away forever.
Enjoy life and family when you can and don't dwell over the times you couldn't be there for whatever reasons. There comes a time, when you find suddenly everyone around you are now old and the calls come far too often.
Wither it was getting a call early in the morning, during a vacation you felt guilty taking, or having a love one call you and hearing how they think it may be the last chance for you to talk, hurts.
Though my uncle asked us not to come up for my aunts service, I do hope to be able to visit him in Maine later this year.

In the place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Morn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair! -ElneClare

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away
into the next room.
I am I,
and you are you;
whatever we were to each other,
that, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way
which you always used,
put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air
of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we shared together.
Let my name ever be
the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect,
without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all
that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you,
for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well.

I'm sorry to hear this Nexa, but at least not the waiting is over . I fully admire your desire to remember her the way she was when she was most herself, and I hope things go smoothly with you and your family in the next little while . My thoughts are with you .
