Me too Buff. Well I got to work this morning to my first client to find her son had passed away a half hour before I got there. So sad I came in and the family was all around the living room and I didn't see my client at first. Her daughter was sitting on the couch crying, and my heart sank. I asked where she was and her daughter told me she was eating breakfast and I turned toward the kitchen and there she was...bless her sweet heart, sitting staring at her bowl of cereal. I just gave everyone a hug and offered my condolences and asked if they needed anything before I go. I never even clocked in. Her daughter said it wouldn't be necessary. I sure hope God gives them peace soon. You could feel the grief when you walk in the door. I am so soft hearted they made me cry too, especially my little lady client who is in her 90's.....having to bury a child is not easy at any age. Sad sad start to the work day.

This reminded of when my brother died. I took my mom to the memorial service. She walked up to my son and asked him, Can somebody tell me why we're here? He came and got me and told me to tell her, he couldn't. So I did. It was funny. But then, I have a warped humor.

Well...it wasn't funny at the time, but she was telling me her son died and that she knew it because her "back hurt all the way down in to her butt." She said that happens every time something goes bad wrong. Elder folks have some silly ideas. Idk what she was talking about. She doesn't have Alzheimer's or dementia of any kind whatsoever, but that was an odd statement. I'm sure it's absolutely true in her mind.

Those elders do get some 'notions' don't they? Who are we to tell them they're wrong!?

 

[BarredBuff]

Prayers for peace for your client...

Sleep tight, and have a great day tomorrow!!
