ORIGINAL: CaHeaven The only bonus is I do not really know this person so at least she is not someone I know really well. Still, I have been fielding calls from her friends, her son, and trying to take care of the cats who live here. One week into three into ??? until after she passes and the cats are all settled. Her son is talking about my being here for months. Everything will look better when Pms passes. Right? She needs to be home, her cats need her. I am going to stay the heck away from her as much as possible. I don't like watching family members pass, I do not want to be part of this for a stranger. Please tell me that I am not a raging biotch for not wanting to participate in this experience. I am going to put on my big girl panties and deal with it but I can tell you that inside, my heart hurts. Whatever you do, Ca, just make sure to care about yourself, as far too often people get talked into doing things they feel they have to (often due to successfully talking them into it), when as a matter of fact, they don't have to...you say you don't really know this person or that you don't know her well...as sad as it is what she has to go through, IMO it is ok at times to clearly define that "this is not your problem"... I became very choosy in the last years regarding whom I would bother to help and whom not...as I simply know that some people (not saying the people you help out are like that, but some people simply do) are more than happy to take advantage when they feel they can but couldn't care less when they are being asked to help in return. So best wishes to your and your difficult situation you are in, just make sure to take care of yourself
