Thank you very much. It was sudden and unexpected. She was 70 and worked up to her last days. It leaves a big void in family and friends.
I wonder sometimes what is a better way to go, slow or quickly. Slow does give you time to say goodbye, but watching a friend or loved one fade away is heartbreaking. Quickly or suddenly avoids the lingering. You want the extra time to say goodbye, but without that suffering. Alas, we don’t get to pick. Perhaps better that way.
