1974 FILLING OUT THE forms for the death certificate and making arrangements with a funeral home were a blur to me. I was hardly aware of how long I had been at the hospital. I ate and slept there. The nurses let me take a shower in one of the shower rooms after Jess brought me a change of clothes. I didn’t talk to him much, but simply thanked him for the gesture and asked about Katie. He attempted to touch me as he told me how tired I looked, but I pulled away from him. I didn’t need his sympathy filled with regrets.I called Rosie from the hospital when Nana passed on. We had spoken on the phone each day that Nana was in the hospital. She was my personal cheerleader to keep my chin up and hold my heart down in regards to Jess Carter. The problem was that I wanted his comfort, but not like this; not because of this. I had to keep myself separate. When Joe Carpenter eventually gave me a ride back to Nana’s all I wanted to do was sleep.Sue Carpenter was an angel in my opinion. She made all the funeral arrangements.
