My great-aunt finally passed away
Hey all,
Well, the moment was finally there this morning. At 09:20 (GMT+1) my great-aunt has finally passed away. Of course we're sad about it, but we know she finally doesn't have any pain anymore. My dad was able to fullfill his promise to her and he stayed with her until she had died. One aunt of mine stayed with her too, as did my mom. I was in a meeting at the time and they called when she had just died. We're all glad that there has come an end to her suffering. However the way it went, we're not at all glad about it. She has had to suffer 12 more days until she could finally seek peace. It's incredible how "care-takers" can act.
In the end there wasn't really a lot I could do, besides being there for my family. I've helped writing the cards and we've posted them yesterday. If all goes well, everyone should get the the cards about her death today or at the latest tomorrow. Her funeral will be Tuesday in the afternoon. I think I'll go to her funeral.
It will be strange, though, since we're leaving for Switerserland the next day for a short holiday. Right now it all still feels weird.
Talk to you later.
