Same for me Bluebell.....not as intense when my dad died 17 years ago.

Yes. She got ill with CHF and pneumonia. After a week at the hospital, it was time time bring her home on Hospice. We had her there for almost 2 days before she died. Her family was with her. I held her hand as she died and told her it was okay to go , that we would miss her, but we would be okay. I am a Hospice RN. You would think I would be doing better with her loss, but I am not. Death is different when it is a family member, especially when it is a mother/daughter relationship I think. I was not as intense as this when my Dad died of cancer in 1981

He lost his 28 year old daughter to pancreatitis, age means no difference when you lose a loved one.

Let me add something, it does not matter how old  your mom it was your mom

Someone in my berevement class eluded to my moms age and what difference did it make that she went in cardiac arrest even though she was not ill.  

Every class I go to I hope he is not there and he is a doctor......go figure

Bluebell God Bless your mom, gosh having all her faculties at that age is a blessing

My mom did the same at 92 she drove, went to church everyday, went to meet her friends at the diner and pumped her own gas, she said if she could start the lawn mower she would cut her own grass.

I was blessed

I am sorry for asking again Bluebell, did you mom get ill, I didn't read all the posts.

awww Bluebell, I'm so sorry.  I know it doesn't help how old they were. So many told me I should be grateful I had my Mom that long... and I am... but it's still very difficult.

98 years old.  She was still walking, getting her hair done every week and her mind was still good. She drove till the age of 94

I'm really sorry, I had no idea it was that recent.  Not that it makes it any better as time goes, but it kind of does, sadly.  I am so very sorry at the loss of your Mom.  How old was she?  My Mom was 80 when she passed.
