Disclaimer: People if you think these Characters belong to me I suggest you go check and see what's in your water. These characters belong to people way over in America you know Joss and what such, go hassle them….
Hey, this is just a weird brake between characters, its weird and… Anyhow thanks go out as always to Meals, you still bestill my heart possum and Cress who I'm talking on the phone while writing this (multitasking!) cos She's in her words a 'nothing just blankness' but in mine a little ray of sunshine
Hmm ok I'm in the weirdest mood… On to the story
…
Interlude Dr. Kriegel"Okay, I've examined your mother's body."
The look on her face on all of their faces, the totally desperate need of hope, was one I had seen many a time.
The little one, Dawn I remember her name interrupts with the question someone never fails to ask.
I continue as if I never heard.
"The on-site report seems more or less accurate. Your mother did have what looks like an aneurysm. A sudden haemorrhaging from a ruptured arterial vessel near the, uh ... where the tumor was"
This is the worst part breaking down the facts, telling the fails in modern science.
"Sometimes these things are detectable, and sometimes they're not."
The mistakes.
"Joyce was aware of the possibility of a rupture, and the effects. She didn't even get on the phone, so clearly this was very sudden."
Removing the blame, comforting.
"She, uh, may have felt a little nausea, and probably passed out as it happened."
Reassuring.
"I doubt there was much pain, and ... even if someone had been by her side..."
Easing the guilt.
"...It's doubtful that this could have been dealt with in time."
Guilt that they hadn't or couldn't do anything
"Absolutely."
How many times had I said these practiced lines to ease the guilt and hopefully the pain of a loved ones passing.
"Well, there, uh, there'll be some forms, and some decisions you'll need to make."
The Father? The guardian takes over, like me he eases the burden from their shoulders and gives himself something to do.
On more thing… then I can go..
"We will need you to ... sign a couple of release forms."
And mourn privately for another life I wasn't able to save.
