Have you ever been in a hospital/care facility when the roommate died?

Asked by anniereborn (15511points) June 4th, 2016

I often wonder about this, especially as my mother is 90 years old and in a nursing home. The last thing I would want if my mother was dying is some stranger a few feet away. This just seems like a time for privacy.

My sister was just in the hospital and her roommate died while she was there. That would just all around be the most uncomfortable thing for me. I’ve never even stayed overnight in a hospital, so I am rather clueless.

I put this is general just so I didn’t have to deal with any rudeness.
