Dammit. God dammit.

Rest in peace, Mrs. B.

Just got a message on the dreaded FB from my old boyfriend and prom date, K. He informed me that his mother had just passed away on Friday, and went on to say that the place that she passed away was so wonderful, but that several other facilities that she'd been at were, 'just a mess' -

- I had her at my workplace, and, yes, he named it by name.

I was only on her wing for a short while before being put onto my normal wing, but, yes, she DID remember me, and, yes, she WAS disappointed that I was off work that first weekend, because he was coming to visit. I should have TOLD him. If only on FB. I feel like a heel of the first order, but could not break confidentiality OR be held solely and personally responsible for her care.

I will say that PERSONALLY, I did my best. On that, I can sleep soundly. But I should have told him, right? I did, just now, in my response, and apologized for whatever circumstance soured him so. I can only imagine, as I've SEEN it, firsthand. It kills me that he's going to think that I'm, 'just like all the rest', of our staff. I'm NOT.

Damn. The ONE time I keep my big mouth shut.

Fuck, I hate when 'doing it right' and doing what you think is right directly clash. *huge hugs*

Sorry, luv.

Yeah. Feeling pretty ashamed, about now.
