1/16/2019 Dorine Gibbs RIP

This afternoon around 12:30 my mother passed away at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx.  She was 91.  She was diagnosed with an unspecified form of Mrsa on December 18th and was never able to recover. 






Right now I couldn't tell you what I am feeling.  I honestly couldn't.  I feel a number of things.

Grief:  Naturally.  I just suffered the loss of my mother.
Relief:  I will no longer have to watch the shell of her and more importantly no longer have to watch her suffer from this infection.
Anger:  Towards the people responsible for my mother's infection.
Withdrawn:  I really don't feel like talking about her.  As well-intentioned as people are I am not ready to deal with this to others
Ambitious:  Ready to take care of her business and to move on.
To a certain degree, free:  I can for now reclaim a part of my life.  Still no regrets on what I have had to do.

I last visited Mom yesterday.  She had difficulty breathing.  Her oxygen level was at 78% so they had an oxygen mask on her, but she seemed to still have trouble breathing.  This is the only time I can say she suffered.   There was nothing I could do.    I didn't think she had much time though.

May you rest in peace Mom.
