I'm home at the moment. T and I were waiting for our lunch to arrive when Ken called with the news. There were no tears yet, just a relief that she was a peace and no longer in the immense pain she was feeling. I think when her and K left LV they said their goodbyes then and that was a great thing to be able to do.
Delores waited to let go until she was alone as people sometimes do. She knew T & K were safe at home, her other children were safe and her dear husband had just left the hospice to go home for a bit. She probably felt that she could quietly leave without people being there to witness it. She knew she was dearly loved and loved her family back immensly.
When I left, Susan was with her and Ken would be home soon. They are supposed to go see Morri's show tonight. Tomorrow, they have an appointment in the morning and K goes to work at 10:30. Susan may go over in the AM but has to work later in the day. I will be working all day but have invited T to play with puppies all day with me if she'd like. She did mention going to the Park at some point, so if someone is available before the weekend to accompany her, that might be nice.
They will be off to LV on Saturday morning, returning Sunday night.
We spent the day talking about death and all of the funny and tragic things that families do to each other during this incredibly stressful time. I told her my story of my Dad's death and all of the ridiculous (and retrospectively funny) things that happened. We were actually laugh quite a bit. Sometimes, it's all you CAN do.
I'm very glad Delores is no longer suffering and is a peace and enjoying the Disneyland in Heaven.
