The Death List

[sally]

I never dealt with hospice before that, but my perception of them was that they were caring people that helped with end of life patients. Not this one. They called me up at 2 in the morning and said I need to get over there because my mom has the death rattle. I didnt know at the time but a death rattle is a gurgling noise you make before dying. So I rush over there and sleep on the floor next to her because the nurse never offered to put his book down and move from the adjacent couch across from her to the chair. I could have asked him if he would mind moving to the chair so I could lay down and I should have, but I didn't. I just layed on the ground
holding her hand.
