[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 368653, member: 4264"] Thank you all for your messages. My cousin and her son spent the past two nights here with us. She has gone back home now but the break from that building etc has done her a world of good. We were able to talk here and there about her friend as well, and really discuss how once on that path, nobody could have changed it, sad as that is. I don't want her living with any guilt that is misguided, that she or anybody could have done more. The womans daughter is doing allright but I do wonder if she's going purely on adrenaline. Her children have taken it very hard. She had a baby 2 weeks ago, has 3 other children, plus is raising her nephew since her sisters death in December. She has a full plate and is also the one having to clear her moms apartment and plan the funeral etc. She has a support system thankfully but I can't imagine what must be in her mind. She found things in her moms apartment that nobody would want to find. More secrets lurking in cupboards and drawers etc. The building manager didn't arrange a clean up of the spot they found her mom, and she didn't knwo that. So she had already cleaned before anybody knew the error in not having it done. I just cannot for the life of me imagine how she did that herself, even looked at it. :( :( Late last night my mother in law called. Her husband has pneumonia now and had another massive stroke yesterday. We told her we will travel to her house tomorrow (earliest we can go) and she said okay but warned that it probably won't be in time to say any final goodbyes. She asked for us to try to track down sister in law, who moved hours and hours away a couple weeks back but hasn't given her mom her new phone number yet. I guess she had called last week so knew things weren't good. But hasn't called her mom back to even inquire how he is doing or how her mom is doing. I sent a facebook message via the kids, and a email to my brother in law, so I hope she calls her mother today. We head out tomorrow afternoon, we could be gone a considerable length of time depending on how he is doing etc. I'll pop onto the board when we make it back home. [/QUOTE]
