Death can be beautiful RIP "help help" lady.

Hi everyone.

Some members may recall postings about the "Help Help" lady in the facility. She was set in her ways, one example being in bed by 7pm, hence the "help help"

Sadly,she passed this morning at midnight The days leading up to her passing, she was sick, to the point of needing oxygen. Even with this, she still would try to say "help help" and even was removing the oxygen mask. She was clearly ready to go.

She was very religious and let it known she was ready to pass. She finally had visitors and the priest came to give last rites.

She did live to be 98 (soon to have been 99 in a couple weeks).

May she fine eternal peace and rest

RIP. Mrs."Help Help" lady 🙏🏾

One of the last things she did, she was upset about her bed being too high for her to get into it, so she made her way all the way down to the reception area
on the first floor to complain. Mind you, her room was on the 2nd floor. at the far end of the building. The reception area is on the first floor at the entrance. It is a distance from her room there, moreso for someone who wheels themselves around slowly, but she did it, made her concern known to the receptionist who in turn notified maintenance to address her issue.

Another phrase she started using was "Turn the Light Off", a concern she had with a light being left on in a room with no one using it. She would even wheel herself over to a room if she saw one on with no one in the room, and turn it off. This is one area we both agreed on 👍🏾.

Awwww, Cover. Your caring spirit. I am relieved she is now at peace. I always remember in my Aunt's facility a woman who walked the halls constantly with a little hopping gait due to one leg being shorter. She always softly called "help". Her name was Ruth, and she could sit at the piano, despite being extremely demented, and play beautifully piece after piece. I later learned from Oliver Sack's books that this is not unusual. He had a wonderful book called Musicophilia, in which he speaks of the brain and music.
I am glad your lady is now at peace.

Thank you AlvaDeer!! It appears she was liked by many. I know toward the end she was more appreciative of things people did for her.

Such a sweet story about the lady at your aunt's facility 😢.

I'm glad she is at peace.

I am so glad that help, help lady has finally passed over into the next spiritual plane. What a cruel place this is where people are forced to continue living in such miserable conditions.

I think you are going to have to pick up the slack on the constant shouting for help Cover now that she is gone. If you don't I can bet someone else will - so it might as well be you to do it.

Helpful Answer (3)

To be honest, she made the best of her lot, sp196902🙂

Picking up the slack,no need, another lady not only will yell help, she'll tap her table and cry ( even over the simplest things). This is the same lady that called the DON when the aides weren't fast enough with her requests, thereby getting changes, for she.
