DW called and left me a message letting me know that Māmā had passed away. I fell to my knees in shock, wept out loud – ugly cried, heartbroken, and could not regain my composure to immediately return her call. I asked DW how Māmā died but she could not understand what I was asking.
DW is Māmā’s eldest sister, my aunt. They lived together with my brother Daniel 9-hour drive away. The funeral was set for Thursday at 11 am. I had to text my manager informing him that I had to go on bereavement leave immediately to make it to the funeral. The worse case scenario had happened, DW outlived Māmā and Daniel is now at her mercy.
