I’m in total shock. I knew it would happen one day of course, but she was doing so well considering all the health issues she had suffered through for the last year or so. My husband was at the nursing home 5 hours ago and his mother was fine then. Her spirits were better and she seemed to have a more positive outlook.
I just got the call at 3am. One of the nurses from the skilled nursing facility called me and said “I’m calling about your mother-in-law.” I said “yes?”. The nurse said “she expired”. I couldn’t believe it. I asked the nurse what happened and she said she didn’t know, that she got the call to come up from downstairs.
I’m assuming the Old Lady had a heart attack. To receive a phone call like that seems cold and unfeeling but I suppose it is the proper way to tell someone that kind of news.
She was fine when I talked to her on the phone at 4pm yesterday and seemed fine when my husband visited her. I’m just in total shock.
I reckon this is the final entry in my category called “The Old Lady”. What in the heck am I going to have to bitch about now?
