And your Mom, that's really hard.
I was lucky that when my Mom's time came she was only sick for a couple of weeks
& lucid right up the very end. She got to go quietly, with dignity at home the
way she wanted it.
I hope your Mom will have an easier time of it than you're expecting.

A six-county-wide mandate has put me under Covid-19 House Arrest today. I'm

Make that seven counties, Santa Cruz County is going to shelter in place. On
the bright side, if I can get off my ass, I guess I have an opportunity to
make some progress on a few of the crisis around the house.
Meanwhile, unrelated to covid-19, I was woken this morning by a text from my
sister. Mom is declining, despite the home being on lockdown they were
working on procedures for her to be with Mom at the end, unless of course Mom
pulls through again. A 1700 mile drive, however, is out of the question.
I’ve pretty much said goodbye for the last time every time I’ve seen her for
just over three years, and she wouldn’t even know I was there. I do wish I
could be there for my sister though.
All things considered, Mom passing is the best thing for everyone involved,
especially her, or what’s left of her. She’s been my mom less and less, and
less and less of the time since she broke her hip. I just wish that her
passing could go better than it looks like it will, though I honestly don’t
think she’ll know the difference.
