Well - my resident passed away, she went peacefully in her sleep. With no pain. Her daughter was at her bedside. I had just gotten home from my grandmothers funeral and gotten to sleep about 2am on Thursday. Got a phone call at 6am that my resident had passed and I was needed to come pronounce her. So I went in and did that. Was there until 7am. Came back home to try and get more sleep, finally drifted off sometime after 7:30am and my mom called at 8:30am. I was going to go to my residents funeral today, but I have come down ill and am not able to. Which I promised the family I would be there. But have no way to contact them to let them know otherwise. Which I doubt matters whether I'm there or not. I emailed the funeral home a poem I wrote in May for my mom when my grandma passed. It was entitled 'Mother'. It seemed to fit the situation quite well.
Anyway - as far as getting hospice into the residential home. It was shot down by the local judge (he has the final say on things like that). I am going to do my best to dispute it, but it seems he has his mind set, that when the ladies are going to die, they must be moved out of the residential home elsewhere to die. I don't agree with that, but with everything that has happened lately I just don't have the energy to do anything about it right now.
Thanks all for your support
