Got a call early this morning from a dear friend. His wife passed away earlier this morning, she had been in failing health.

Upon getting her to the Emergency Room he was made to leave and told to wait outside the hospital and they took his cell phone number. He went to the parking garage and waited for hours and got the text that she had passed. He called me from the parking garage.

He was not allowed to enter the hospital to see her and spend final private moments with his life’s partner.

As of an hour ago the funeral home can’t tell the family anything related to what the service for her might hold.

I write this in case others here may possibly have a similar situation and as to what you might expect should the worst come to pass.


The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.

What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.
