Bumping this up...and it is not good.

In December, Trish had a surgery that they hoped would prolong her life just a little bit more. The surgery was successful but things have went to hell in a handbasket from there

Well the H word has entered the picture...Hospice. She is on her way out. 2 days ago she was put in a rest home that does hospice. Some of the girls saw her last night. She can't eat or drink and is pretty much living on morphine. She is near comatose and can't talk or anything. It will be a miracle if she makes it thru next week.

She is only 41 and has 3 kids under the age of 10 (including a set of twins). Her parents are coming down from Richmond, BC to help take care of the kids. Trish's husband has been by her side and is holding up much better than I expected.

Kinda hard but I think last night will be the last time I will see her alive. Kinda tough seeing her but I am glad I did

So send prayers, vibes, whateva to her family, especially to her husband Terry and her 3 boys

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, Jill :( There really aren't words that I can say to express how awful this is... My thoughts and prayers are with Trish, her family, you, and her sisters.

My thoughts go out to you and your Preceptor Alpha Xi sisters...from an Eta Pi sister in Louisiana.

Hugs.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend :( I took care of someone in similar condition this week in my clinical rotation for nursing.

I even cried with the patient when he was telling me his history and story.


I will add your friend to my prayer list .

Trish has joined the chapter in the sky
 

The Beta chapter in the sky...

It is with a heavy heart that I announce this: Trish passed away on Saturday morning at 8:50am. Her husband stopped in to my work to talk to me yesterday. When I saw him, I immediately knew. I was NOT tryin' to hear it! :(
He said she is in a better place. He and the kids are holding up better than I expected (better than I am).

I am going to bring some food over tomorrow. Her service is Friday at 1PM. Cross fingers that my boss can finagle the schedule so I can have the time to go to her service (I work 11a-730p)

Please have her husband Terry and 3 young sons in your thoughts and/or prayers

Oh Jill, I'm so sorry :( I'll be praying for everyone. At least she's not in pain anymore.

My condolences go out to her family and Preceptor Alpha Xi sisters.

I'm so sorry Jill. My prayers are with her family and your chapter.

Jill, I hope your doing ok. Trish's family is in my prayers.
((((hugs))))

Her Memorial is at 1PM today and my boss is gonna give me and a coworker (who played baseball with her husband) some time to go. Funny, a lady called work and asked if she left her credit card. She said she remembered that she was buying flowers for a funeral tomorrow and that was the last place she had it.

Me: You got a service too huh?
She: Yup, you too?
Me: Yeah, tomorrow
She: what time?
Me: One PM
She: where?
Me: Cornwall
She: Me too
Both: TRISH????

Yup.
