Sadly I must report that my mom has passed away after her long battle with cancer early Saturday morning. It was inevitable, we both knew it, and she was ready to pass on. It's been a blur these past 48 hours. G oing to the hospice to collect her belongings and paying my final respects to her, going to the funeral home to make arrangements, contacting all her friends and family. And it's far from over. Attending the funeral tomorrow, contacting her bank and insurance companies, figuring what to do with her personal belongings. I'm the only immediate member of the family in this area of the country so it all rests on me.
You have my deepest sympathy, of course. I was in the same position when my mother died 32 1/2 years ago -- the only functioning adult (given my sister's condition) in the immediate family, so I had to take care of all of that as well, though in her case "nursing home" substituted for "hospice." (I think the oddest part of the whole experience was phoning in the obit information to the newspaper one county over where I'd worked before & for that matter would work again.) You never, ever seem quite right, so no worries there.

I'm on my first nighshift of my life, and it's also the first nightshift for this warehouse as a whole. Already, we've run into a glitch; a connection failure so that we don't get any labels printed. So now we're in the canteen till they fix the problem. It's 1:26 AM. I worked the Nightshift (Graveyard) for most of my career and one thing about it ... You Sleep Weird, Eat Weird, and Do things Weird. The weirdest thing that I ever done was eating a New York Steak Dinner at 7:30 in the Morning! Taking your Laundry to a Service Center because the time at your Condo Place you can't! Sleeping in the Summertime is unbearable when you have very warm/high temperatures ... No Social Life ... and that's why I hated it so much! I work 10 hours overnight, 4 days a week, so I get a social life Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I often stay up all day Saturday, sleep for like 10 hours, then I'm available for friends & family Sunday and Monday. If I have something scheduled Saturday things get complicated. I either take a nap Saturday late morning/early aternoon, or power through, depending on when it is and whether I'll have to do the driving.

Thanks to each and everyone for your kind words and sentiments. The funeral was held Monday and now I'm in the process of prepping my move from Manhattan to Queens NYC. Lots of shuttling back and forth and making arrangements with movers. Plus disposing of belongings i don't need to transport. Lots to do and do it quick before the month is finished. This while I'm awaiting on death certificates to be issued to me so I can proceed with financial matters concerning my Mom's assets and liabilities.
I'll certainly have a rant or two to share regarding the shady business of funeral homes. Dealing with moving companies should be a cake walk compared to that
One strange thing did occur. very late in the evening after my mother passed away, I had the TV on in the darkened room at her apartment. I'm watching it as well as Gaby the cat, curled up in her chair. I then notice Gaby getting up and staring at the ceiling. For the next hour or so, Gaby kept looking up, moving her head from side to side like she was tracking something. I'm positive there's no flies or mosquitos, haven't had that problem this summer and Gaby never behaved like that, or I never noticed her doing that before. But she continued for over an hour, staring up and looking,. Very freaky.

Sorry I'm late to this, and also sorry for your loss Ish.
My parents are getting older and I think my dad isn't far from this point.
My deepest sympathies and thoughts are with you my friend.
re Gaby the cat : Wow !

I dont know you guys that much but I have always enjoyed your posts here so I would just like to chim in and say I am sorry for your loses to. Luckily my parente are young, late 50s, and I am not married yet so I have yet to experienced a lot of these things but I still got a feeling of what it would be like last year when my dad was diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately he is fine now do to surgery but it was still an experience I could have done without.
