Guess he *really* didn't want to stay at the new place

One of my cousins said something similar when my grandmother checked out. She was also chronically dissatisfied with her accommodations. We were half convinced she went when she did to prove a point. -- Drew

I don't know that he died of anything in particular (probably a heart attack), but he was simply fading out as he approached 94. He was still confrontational and obstreperous almost to the end. Odd, but when I received the news I was just screwing up my courage to call him on behalf of the other sibs to deliver the message that no, we weren't going to move him again a week after moving him the last time. I'd just written down the number (his phone was installed a day ago) when I got the news. It's a mercy, but grief, of course, dismisses these rational considerations.

Her last two weeks on this earth were absolutely horrific and yet, I know the sense of loss you speak of. It turns out the cliche is true: Time heals ... It's only been a week, but already I'm feeling the grief lift, slowly but surely. As Scott says, "Hang in there." I can assure you things will improve. Until then, know that my thoughts are with you.
