I feel like I am getting emotionally drained. Our SIL's mother died the on the 10th of May she had cancer. I have only met her a couple of times feel so bad for my SIL and her family.
Monday the 19th recieved a frantic phone call from my cousin Estela asking me to try and find my Aunt Gloria to be with her mother at the hospital. My Aunts husband had just died minutes before and she was alone at the hospital with him. I was in shock and rushed to Oceanside. My Aunt Gloria calls me and tells me to just go to her house because she was taking my Aunt there. Well a few minutes later my Aunt calls me crying they had to keep my Auntie Lola at the hospital, she was having chest pains. When I got there she was crying hysterically asking Why?, Why did her husband die it should have been her, she should have done this, she should have done that. This is really a shock he was only 50 years old and they think he died of pneumonia. When they brough him in he was already dead and he had a internal temperature of 106 but his skin was cool to the touch. The nurse said they did a rectal temperature 45 minutes later and his temperature was 104 and his white blood cells were really high. They have done a autposy but we wont find anything out for a few weeks.
My Aunt is devastated. My heart breaks for her. I wish there was something I could say or do to make her feel better but there isnt. I cant bring her husband back and thats all she wants. Now she has to worry how she is going to bury him she is on a fixed income and he did not have a good job. Plus she was getting phone calls from his family in Mexico telling her she should have his body flown over there! Hello! She doesnt even know how shes going to pay for him to get buried here.
I talked to my cousin Estela last night and she said they went to the mexican consilate (not sure if i spelled that right) and they have given them some financial help and recommended a cheaper place to have his awake at. Its on Marissas birthday, I told her and she is fine with it. We will probably take her out to lunch and then head to La Mesa for the awake. Please say a prayer for my Tia Lola that she can get through this health wise. I am so worried about her.
I recieved a phone call last night from my neighbor Kerry her Mother in Law passed away at 10:30 p.m. she has been sick with pancriotic cancer and barely hanging on. I saw Paula that evening about 6:00 she looked worse than when I had seen her days before. She has been in acoma for the last week and the night before starting vomiting and her catheter bag was filling with blood. I am so glad that its over and she isnt in pain anymore and glad for the family that they can rest now. They have been with her at home around the clock for the last 2 weeks.
Here is a picture of my Aunt and her husband and a few pics of him. His name is Refino.
