I'm so sorry that you are going through this Jacqueline.
I always feel fortunate because we are a close-knit 3, sharing all the joys and grief. For your kids not to have had that opportunity to say goodbye is very sad. And, yes, supporting your mom was something that I'm sure you wanted to have the opportunity to do. 
So sorry for your loss, Jacquline.I had to head out early this morning to clean off the car and shovel enough to move the car over the pile of snow that the plow had created when they did a pass thru the lot at 3 am (townhouse complex). Came back in, washed my hair, changed my clothes, packed a lunch, took my pills and headed back out to the car so I could head up the highway to meet my family at the funeral parlour. Crap! Stupid plow had come back and created another deeper pile behind my tiny car and that made me sweaty and 10 minutes late
my dad died early yesterday morning and while it truly was a blessing I really wish my family had communicated more with us. Please everyone, talk to your families, keep each other in the loop, don't assume that someone else had texted or called! We had no idea that he tested positive for COVID-19 over 2 weeks ago, that they'd already given the funeral director a heads-up before Christmas that he was failing quickly. Perhaps my kids might have liked to say goodbye to their Papa ☹ and maybe, just maybe I might have wanted to support my mom!
no shopping happening for me this week, don't care how many miles I might get or what's on sale! I grabbed a carton on milk at Rexall when I was picking up some scripts and that was hard enough
