Sorry to report that my sweet mom died last Thursday. It was very hard to watch her transition from life to death over the course of two days, but we made the most of our time together. The night before she grew unresponsive, we talked about life, joyful times, favorite memories, religion, and then early the next morning she began struggling to breathe. She was never responsive again after that, and she died the next night. During those two days, she had visits from close friends who told her goodbye, we read letters from family and friends, read poems, played music, and she was surrounded by family and next to her dog when she took her last breath and left her broken body. We will miss her terribly. We learned so much from her. She was hopeful until the very end of her life. I'll be thinking about you all and wishing you good health. I think the science is coming around, and we'll have some better options soon.
