My mom died today.

23. My grandmother almost made it to 104

and she died a month before that date. She had very big 90th, 95th and 100th birthdays since she always wanted to live to be 100. I think her shear hatred for the GOP kept her alive for years.

My dad died suddenly in his sleep 5 years ago at the age of 85 and he was in great health. I am still in shock and grieving. I am glad he died peacefully in his sleep which is what we all want.

I hope you recover from your enormous loss better than I have. I have 100% empathy. I also hope she is able to visit you in your dreams. My dad did right after he died. It wasn't creepy at all and was comforting instead.
