To answer 1 question.. shes been sick for a long time. Apparently my sister and her bf went to see her this morning and looked in her room through the window and saw her not moving..
Her house was locked so they broke in to see if she was OK.. Apparently she had been dead for perhaps a day or 2.. An autopsy will be done on her probably tomorrow..
Andrea was devastated for me because she hates to see me upset. She also told me she wants to be at my moms' funeral because she knows I'd need someone to lean on or cling too..
I'm still just shocked and awed.. Shedding some tears but not balling..
I'm also undecided still on if I'm going to take my 3 bereavement days from wal mart.. I may just go to work tomorrow and see if I can handle it.. if I can't.. then we'll see..

I could tell you to take your three days off. When My mom passed away in 2003 , she did it during the holidays also, one week before I had to be back on crossing guard duty. I cried for three days after it but I knew I needed to face the kids like nothing had happened so that they wouldn't suspect things were not right with me. It has been three years for me now but I still think of her and tears come but not as hard and not as often.

That would be the best course of action. I know I have actually been known to do better with death working for some reason ( I had to deal with my uncle passign away earlir this year), but the difference is I saw myy uncle's death coming. I am not sure if I could handle it if it happened out of the blue.Josephine96 wrote:I may just go to work tomorrow and see if I can handle it.. if I can't.. then we'll see..
Just test the waters and see if you feel comfortable...

Andrea and her mom believe I should take the 3 days off as well.. If I take them though.. I might use them to run away from this for 3 days and go to Andrea's and hide 4 3 days..
But.. I think I'll just tough it out.. I wanna be the strong 1.. not the weakling who will crumble into a million pieces.. {Though I've already been told more than 1x if I crumble into a million pieces thats fine}..
I just wish my sis and bro would make the arrangements and then I could get past this. I know.. have some patience because the funeral will be sometime this week I'm sure..
Oh I hate the fact that I'm alone now at 24..
I know.. I'm not alone, I have my brothers and sisters, I have Andrea and her mom, I have work, I have u guys but I still kinda feel alone..

Trust me, I have been known to "lose it" through the three or so deaths that have happened close to me.......it is entirely acceptable.

On the other hand, it is worth a shot at "toughing" it out. I would side with Andrea and her mom about taking three days off.
