This story of the author's struggle with her mother's death is a testimony of suffering, meaning, transcendence, and spirituality. The author's mother was in the Hospice Home for seven days. She died on the author's birthday. During this time, they struggled with callous doctors, incompetent nurses, tedious waiting, painful emotions, and wrenching farewells. The author struggled with revising the meaning of normalcy, with promises to take care of her mother amid the reality that she could not. This is a chaos narrative and a quest narrative. It tells the story of a journey through hell, ending up, if not in heaven, at least back on earth
