Mom is on hospice and in the final stage of kidney failure. Sitting by her bedside and hearing the neighbor kids playing ball in the street outside her window caused me to wonder... Will they just roll her out the front door? Do they wait until dark if she passes in the daytime?
After they left and I went back into mom's room, I found they had left a single red rose on her bed with a kind note attached. It was all done very quickly and professionally. We were all very humbled by everyone's care of mom, from all the hospice personnel to the funeral home workers. I couldn't have asked for better.
Thank you all again for your helpful answers and comments on here, you were all so gracious!
We have the same narrow hallways and tight corners, too, Singing. Thanks for clearing up that question. Plus mom is a big lady so I'm glad they have provisions for different scenarios.
Bless those of you that have recently lost loved ones yet have taken the time from your own grief to encourage others. Such a wonderful group of people here :-)
This thread might help you too. It helped me a lot. Love and Blessings to you on this journey. I walked it just a week ago.
