My 98 year old mom died on 12/12 - COVID-19 related.

58. My condolances. We have some similarities

My wife and I married in 1982, and we, too, have two children (37 and 35), but I lost my dad in 2000 and my mom in 2002, so I envy you for having had your parents for so long. On the other hand, I have my younger brother and sister, though they still live back in the USA, so we don't visit much. My wife still has her mom, who is 93, but lost her dad before I lost mine, and her brother died of a glioblastoma at age 51 in 2007.

The "last one standing" feeling does hit you sooner or later. Though I still have my two siblings, since they are younger, I can't dodge the "you're next" feeling, and just try to suppress it.

You had your mom around for quite a while, and compos mentis for just about all the time (THAT is a real gift). It's too soon for that to be a consolation, but you are more fortunate than many in that respect.
