My dear friend at work died. Two weeks ago. I was able to go say goodbye the day before. I sat and held her hand and had a lovely conversation with her husband, Jack. I got a bigger glimpse into her life. They had a son who died in his 30's from MD. There were wonderful pictures on the wall of her bedroom.
We all were so impressed with the loving care she got from Divine, our in-house care group. They helped so much and stayed with her right until the end.
Paula had the biggest heart and the brightest smile. I remember making her laugh when Jack claimed to be an equal parent and I said well he was part of the beginning. I'm sure he helped all that he could, but it was just a funny conversation and a moment of pure presence for Paula. Paula had dementia and would sometimes lose Jack, even though he wasn't ever really lost. I always helped her find him.
Today is her memorial and I am sad to miss it. But I know wherever she is, she is pain-free and has perfect clarity. She leaves behind Jack and her son Jason.
Love and Light on your journey Paula.
