Thank you, and I am sorry for your loss too. I lost my dad unexpectedly 15 years ago, he was 62 and just went to sleep and didn't wake up. He wasn't sick or anything, just high blood pressure controlled by medicine. And to have this happen to my Mom, is just a terrible nightmare. It is so final, when both parents are gone, and now you have to go to the house and figure out what to do with all the stuff of a woman who expected to come back to it.

Thank you everyone for all your replies. It is so hard, and it is nice to know people care. I just have to take it one day at a time, and thank God I have my kids, because everyone knows when you hug a little one you feel just a tad better. I am just so angry and sad all the time, but my 9 year old and I have a mantra that we keep repeating. It 's.... We know we will see Grammy again, we're just not in any hurry. That seems to make him feel better, and it also makes me realize God's will be done.

Just saw this . . . so sorry for your loss. My mom has been gone for 20 years now, and I miss her every day. I read once where "no matter what you think of your parents in life, you will miss them terribly in death." I was lucky to have two of the best parents you could ask for, not perfect, but good as gold and I was so blessed. I hope my kids feel that way about me too. I think they do. . .leaving a legacy is very precious to me at this time in my life, and I hope I am able to carry through.

thoughts and prayers to you and yours.

Thank you everyone. I am so mad at the care my Mom received. Her official cause of death was complications of chemotherapy drugs. Her cancer was gone, but they wanted to make sure so they gave her chemo. After the first time she felt horrible, and didn't want to do it anymore and they really talked her into it. She would get sick, and then when she started feeling better it was time for the next round. Well the third time did it. The drugs got into her lungs, and then affected her heart and killed her. She was a very active woman who was not even sick, if she did not have chemo she would still be here. Be very careful, and be your best advocate, don't always do what doctors say without getting the facts straight first. If I have learned anything from all this, is that our healthcare industry is lacking, and doctor's are definitely not God. They make mistakes, they are too busy, and we need to research everything they want to do to us before they do it.
