Losing My Mother

[DonnerPartyOf404]

Mom is getting, what I think, is her second blood transfusion tomorrow.  At least she is feeling well enough to text me.

That's really good news.

Thanks, she was transfered from intensive care, this morning, over to her own room in the heart wing of the hospital.  No heart issues.  It was just the only place with an available room.  

No other news as of yet today other than my dad is fuming due to lack of answers and his "need" to be in control of everything.

It is difficult for most of us dealing with the illness of a loved one. When there is nothing you can do but wait, expecting the worse, and praying for the best, 
knowing there is absolutely nothing you can do, making everything you can do seem critical.

As the caregiver for my Mom I know that there have been times that I have been less than amiable, and on the rare occasion, downright  intolerable.

You know your family and I don't suggest even a little bit that you don't know the best course of action to take, I will suggest a little leniency, just in case they want to take advantage of a door left cracked open. Just in case. 

Dealing with illness and possible death is hard. It is super hard if you are going it alone, and it can be even worse if you as a family are apart and not together.

I try to keep it about Mom, and I do my best to leave me, and any bad feelings out of it, for her sake. 

It is not always easy. I am blessed because I have a lot of love and support from my siblings, so the burden is not that heavy, and yet it is still hard.

I understand and respect what you are going through. I hope us Rogues give you at least a little support, even if we, by chance, give you advice you don't want, or don't need. 

Rogue is not working good today so I will share more later to my Rogue family
