Bittersweet

The fundraiser was a grand success. The Music was great, the whole thing went off with out a hitch. The sound was out standing. We had over nine thousand dollars in Mrs K’s account as of this Thursday. I am really pleased, and I have more cheques add to the whole thing. I very nearly cracked when I handed over a cheque to J for $900.00 for Trinity.

We had a team meeting on Thursday and the care team talked about there concerns about Mrs. K. She is in hospital now and on a respirator. According to J the Trinity client services coordinator, Mrs K will not be able to come home. She requires too much care that her husband R simply cannot manage, nor can he afford to provide her with the care she needs at home.

I think all of us at the meeting were coming to terms with the fact that death is that much closer. Who knows how far it is now. Mrs K could live for years, she could succumb to an infection tomorrow. It’s hard to say.

I spoke at the team meeting about a need I have had to talk to Mrs K. to give her permission to let go. I don’t know how that will be received. Roben said that she was the one who had to have this talk with Mrs K, because Mrs K has told her that she wanted to talk one day to Roben about death.

I hope Roben does talk to her.

Soon.
