I tend not to share a great deal of personal news here, since I spend my time here largely sharing excerpts from material I'm reading daily that I hope may be of interest to others.

Adding to the shock of losing my friend of many years, Mary Russell, is the fact that my husband and I went to see her in the hospital less than two hours prior to her death, not knowing when we arrived and she was with her doctor β she could not speak and was communicating by writing on a slate β she was discussing plans to be taken off life support. We did not want to interrupt. I patted her knee and told her we'd return later.
And after we left, her oxygen was removed and she died quickly.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I experienced a similar loss recently and was physically ill for a week. But I'm feeling better finally. Take good care of yourself.

@wdlindsy You know that she knew when you touched her that you would not see her later when you returned. But the important thing; you touched her physically. It was one of the last physical touches she had and it was yours. Comfort added when needed.

@wdlindsy What a hard thing! And of course it is weighing on you. Being off kilter for a while is the right thing; it's evidence of your good relationship with Mary.

Iβm sorry for your loss, especially since saying goodbye without you knowing must be a heart-wrenching memory; but she knew you cared & thatβs why she let you leave.
