#46 A Light in the Dark
I work at a nursing home. I’m not actively involved in the direct care of the residents, but I still interact with them on a daily basis. There was one woman in my unit who had a son who visited her every day. She was in hospice, so he wanted to be around as much as possible for his mom. She passed away during one of the rare times he wasn’t in the building.
We called him to let him know, and he got in his car immediately to come be there when the funeral home came. The aides had finished preparing her body to be taken out, and we were all just waiting on the son to get there to call the funeral home. Her room was empty. The moment he rounded the corner to the hallway her room was in, her call light went on. The nurse on duty and I looked at it, then at each other, as if confirming that we both saw it. As soon as he went into the room, it went off again. That’s the strangest experience I’ve had so far.
