Anno, I'm shocked and deeply saddened for you, particularily given such circumstances.
I hope you will contact a public agency responsible for licensing the nursing home or the local press ...if you don't get far on the protocol investigation.
But later.

Anno, I just found this post and learning about the details of your mother's death. I was at the other posting first.
You should call for an investigation if you have unanswered questions. You may help others in the future with actions you take now and answers may ease your pain.
I'm so, so sorry and sending more prayers.

Ann, I appreciate that the circumstances surrounding your Mom's demise would raise a lot of questions. It is par for the course and I emphatise. That dreaded phone call is a shared circumstance when my Mom passed away suddenly and I was not there. I still raise questions occasionally as to whether those around her at that time did the best they could under the circumstances.
Grief and questions are the strangest bedfellows even under better (if one can call it that) circumstances. However, for the moment, I hope you allow yourself time and space for bereavement. If you deal with the questions now, I would not want you to go through what I went through because it casts a shadow in the heart already burdened with grief. If the nursing home is in breach of duty of care, it will still remain a breach of duty that you can raise later on. For the moment, you must keep your spirit and heart calm despite the circumstances. It was the only way I could process the sudden loss of a parent and I hope it helps you in the same way.
If there is anything I can do to help with raising questions later, I will only be too glad to help. My thoughts and prayers for you and Dennis are constant and consistent. I only wish I lived closer in order that I can offer more practical help.
