I lost my Mom two weeks ago. She passed away suddenly [View all]

at home where she lived alone since my Dad died in 2004. My sister found her as they had plans to go grocery shopping etc. that morning. Mom was hospitalized for a week in June and then two weeks of rehab. She was to have her last PT and released from home care the following day. She was 87 years old and I know how lucky I am to have had her that long.

I'm just numb right now. I'm the Executrix and have been so busy in the last two weeks, which is good I guess because otherwise I would just sit here and cry.
