Kirby Posted May 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2019 MomKirby passed away this morning. It was as unexpected as it could be for a 90 year old woman with a variety of illnesses. She felt fine on Sunday and we had a lovely Mother's Day dinner, but she started to have stomach pains Monday night. She went to the hospital on Tuesday and they ran a bunch of tests which were inconclusive and she took a turn for the worse overnight and passed this morning. I'm still in a bit of shock, but this was the sort of death she'd want if she had to choose, so that's a good thing. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted May 16, 2019 Share #25 Posted May 16, 2019 So sorry, Kirby. It is bittersweet when loved ones have lived a full life and can go out on their own terms, so to speak.

MickinMD ★ Posted May 16, 2019 Share #29 Posted May 16, 2019 So sorry for your loss. You were fortunate to have her to age 90. My next door neighbor with be 95 in July and is one month younger than my late mother, who passed away at 79. He quit smoking in his 30's and he's a reminder of what might have been if she had quit smoking. Her sister is beginning to lose mental faculties but it still enjoying life and will be 99 in August - never smoked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so nice that you had a great mother’s day together, you are a good daughter. How are you holding up? Thanks. Mostly well, but it still hits in waves every so often. But all the tests that they did at the hospital revealed a number of little things that only would have gotten worse in the coming months. These things could have impacted her quality of life significantly, so I know she would be thankful for how things played out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
