How Doctors Die

[catherine]

Thank you, everyone. No details, but will simplify to age, tired body, etc.

To have that "constant" in one's life suddenly be gone... definitely an adjustment.

You may find that she is not really gone--you will talk about her, think about stories and sayings that defined your relationship with her, do things that remind you of her, hear her voice in your head...in short, she will always be a constant in your life.

So sorry happystuff! Thankfully you were able to be with her at the end!

Condolences happy stuff. One of my only regrets in life was letting the medical establishment keep my mother alive in a vegetative state (at least I hope she didn't know what was going on) way past her end date. She deserved a better ending.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Happystuff.
Catherine, I absolutely think you did the right thing with your MIL.
