Thursday my mother didn't show up at my father's house to take my little brother to school, or to pick him up from school and take him home. When I found out around 430pm, I immediately somehow knew she was dead.
I called my father, and we rushed over there. All of her cars were there, but the doors were locked and the only light I could see on is her 'night light'.
I used a key like a bump key to turn the deadbolt, and found her dead in her bed. Her nose was bleeding all over her pillow. I looked around and found the cocaine she'd been doing. There was just enough left for her to get a "pick me up" to get my little brother to school the next morning. She was planning on waking up.
I also found 26 blue xanax and 98.5 xanax in the drawer next to her bed. There were two used shot glasses on the kitchen table, and a wine glass with just a small red spot stained in the bottom center of it. The last thing she had thrown away was a very large bottle of wine.
The autopsy revealed what I had assumed. That she had been doing cocaine and drinking away the sorrows, and then took too much Xanax trying to go to sleep as many cocaine users often do. She also had an 80% blockage in an artery in her neck, which I'm sure did not help the situation at all.
The funeral was yesterday and I'm just having some trouble with this. I thought posting this and sharing this with someone might make things easier.
Thanks.
