48. One Girl. One Journey – Evening of August 30, 2020

August 30, 2020 – 10:08 pm – Text from my sister, ¨At hospital¨.

I sat on the couch, numb. I couldn´t move. Tears were there but I was too afraid the let them fall because that would mean my gut feelings were true. She was going to be OK. I thought I was going to pass out. I couldn´t breathe. I was shaking so bad, I couldn´t stop. The palms of my hands were soaking wet. I felt my throat beginning to close on me and I had to get up so I could pretend that I was doing something productive. What was wrong? What happened? What should I do? Should I go up north with Jacob here? Or was she going to be released? Was I over reacting or under reacting? I sat there, all these thoughts going through my head…

August 30, 2020 – 10:29 – I called Jacobs Dad to ask him to come and get Jacob. I messaged my sister and told her I was heading up North. She replied right away, ¨OK¨.

August 31, 2020- We all met at the hospital to meet the priest for the last rites service. 11 minutes after taking her off life support, our Mother was gone.

Our rock was gone.
