Planning
First of all, my Mom has been doing real well. Getting more frail by the week but still chugging along.
This is vacation time for all the family caretakers (five of us) and my sister came up with a good question. If Mom passes while any of us are on vacation, do we want to get called or do we want to be told when we get home.
Hummm.
No easy answer. For me, I think I would want to get the call. Not that I would come home early, but I think I would like the time to come to peace with the reality.
Thoughts?!?
Since everyone’s kind of expecting it, I think telling me would only spoil my vacation. You can come to grips with reality when you get home.

Thing is, is there such a thing as a time frame for her departure? She might be a long term battler. If you are all going on vacation, do you all believe that she will pass away while you’re vacating? All things possible. If she does pass away while you’re all vacating, then, you should all be told. What you decide to do after the fact. That is entirely up to you. All the best! G~

I agree with Aussie. You also have the option of leaving your cell phone off, too.
