Glenda Johnson sat on her mother’s hospital bed, took her hand and told her it was OK to go.
“I don’t want to die,” Linda, 83, replied, tubes feeding oxygen into her nostrils, her daughter later recalled. “It just hurts so bad.” “I have no husband, no kids, no brother and sister. My mother was all I had in the world,” Glenda said in a recent interview. “Now my heart is broken.”Glenda, 58, a retired social worker, had been Linda’s caregiver since 2014. That was the year Glenda’s father, Clyde, died; her parents had been married for 57 years. Glenda quit her job, left her condo in the suburbs and moved back into the four-bedroom house in Detroit’s Bagley neighborhood where she was raised.
Both of them had busy worlds beyond their singular relationship; Linda belonged to the Red Hat Society and several card-playing groups and was active in her church and local library, and Glenda worked as an event planner. They cut back on their social activity in early March, but Glenda got sick later that month, and Linda followed about a week after, Glenda said. They first thought they had the flu, but grew concerned as their symptoms worsened.
My heart is breaking right now... so many sad stories these days. I hope to see the end of this soon, just too much too fast!
This is so sad. I will be your soul sister. Glenda.
Prayers
So sorry, God be with both of you
Vents are killing people. She was probably put on a vent
May God of comfort who comforts us in all our tribulations comfort you and your mother. Keep your faith alive.
