February 6 my Mom had a stroke. Two stints in a rehab/nursing home and two strokes later she died alone in a hospice house hours before my Father was going to bring her home to die with her family finally by her side.
I had not physically been in my mother's presence since the early days of March - nearly a month before she passed. A week before her final stroke I was able to talk to her by Facetime over the phone.
Not only did I not get to be with her, and she died alone, we were unable to have a funeral. She was cremated, and we are having a small family gathering July 18 to remember her and find closure. I miss my Mom.
I'm angry. I want to sue hospitals, nursing homes, government officials. I want people to pay dearly. A class action lawsuit should be started for all the people who had to deal with this over the last few months. This should never, ever, have happened.
