Thank you Mona
@flyingdumbo127. You always know how to make me feel better.
@Nancyg56, your post brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. I have to keep telling myself Dom must still be here for a reason, even if I can't for the life of me imagine what that is. I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. What a brave woman. My husband and I have been in the health care field for more than 25 years. I was a hair stylist for around 12 years before I went back to school to become an RN, and I worked in the ER/ICU for about 20 years before becoming a stay at home babysitting MomMom. On a funny note, I like to say I went from kissing butt to wiping butt. My husband was a flight medic in the Army, then a tech for a GI practice as well as an ER tech (I met him working in the ER when he transferred to the ER I worked in), from there went on to GI equipment sales & training, and then to sales for home care & hospice, of which he's been doing for the last eight years. Dom's mom did rely on us quite a bit during the first ten months or so after Dom's tragedy. Over the last few months, as it became more apparent that he wasn't progressing, and pretty much seems to have come to a stand still, she has shut us out. It was too hard to keep sugar coating our words. I mean, we weren't a-holes about what we said to her, but we, like apparently Dom's physicians, became the enemy speaking evil reports. Just typing that freaks me out, that she actually wrote that in the prayer journal. Anything we say that is based on the reality of Dom's situation is, to her, being negative. She has said time and time again that she doesn't want to hear any negative comments. Truth isn't negative. Anyway, it is what it is for now.
