I’m still in disbelief and shock so I don’t know how to even word this. I’ll just explain exactly what happened to the best of my ability. Sunday, September 28th, my family attended my father in law’s funeral. We got home around 7:30ish and things happened so fast. We all got inside and not even 5 minutes in smoke filled my house and we could smell that it was something electrical. My mom had already made her way to her room before it started to take her nightly meds. I yelled for them to all get out of the house because I didn’t know what was burning. Her and the kids went outside and I began searching for where the smoke was coming from. I called my children’s father and he told me to shut the breakers off so I did. I couldn’t find where the smoke was coming from. Then one of my babies ran inside and said his grandmother was choking and couldn’t breathe. I ran out to see. When we got out the door my oldest son shined a flash light and I could see her already turning purple. I called 911 in a panic and followed their instructions laid her down, leaned her head back to open the air way and started chest compressions, mouth to mouth. It took 11 minutes for them to get to us. It felt like forever that we worked on her. They made me step back and kept working on her. She slipped away and there was nothing I could do. I’ve never felt so helpless in my life. My babies had to witness most of it and I’m so worried about the impact that will have on them. She lived with us and I was her care taker for the last two years. She didn’t have life insurance so we’re trying to find a way to meet the cost as quickly as possible. We went to the funeral home today to discuss things and were told we need to move fast because her body isn’t in the best shape. They’ll have to move fast to avoid having to move her to keep her body from decomposing. I’m sorry if this seems too graphic I just really can’t find the words right now. If you knew my mama she was a woman that impacted every person she came into contact with. We just want to give our mother the memorial she deserves. Any and every thing is greatly appreciated. Please pray for our family to find comfort and closure in these hard times.
