Goodbye Gussie Grant: The Angels Has You Now

I’ve been posting blogs about my journey as the caregiver of a special needs adult with Alzheimer’s. On February 28th, my beautiful sister, that I lovingly referred to as my Boss passed away. She fought the long goodbye longer than anybody thought possible. She struggled to live for me, because I did not want her to go and she seemed to know that. But, the day came when I knew she had to go to the emergency room. She could no longer eat. She’d forgotten how. She could no longer stand on her own. She’d forgotten how. She stopped trying to be my Boss and I realized I was losing her in pieces. Doors were closing in her brain to prepare for the end of life. Putting her in hospice devastated me, but having to bring her home after seven days to die, totally took me by surprise. Two nights later, she passed away. I got to bathe her and spend quality time with her before she was taken away for her last ride in my community. So this is Goodbye to a piece of my heart and soul. Rest In Heaven Gussie Grant.
