Condolences, Peter. I'm sure she had a great retirement in France, just sorry it couldn't have been longer.
My mum is in a nursing home near us, aged 87 and suffering from arthritis, a crumbling hip that they can't do anything about, heart failure, the kind of leukaemia that many older people have that's only fatal if you get to about 120, and some other things that don't bear writing about. It's only her bloody-mindedness that's keeping her going. Long may it last.
Same age as my mum, & she's got about a hundred things wrong with her (including a bad heart & hip), but she's very independent & is happily still at home, as my sister lives nearby & I spend a week a month with her (& she's a lot of fun). Getting older is not for the faint hearted, but hopefully our generation will be a bit healthier as we get on.

Sorry to hear about your mum, Jehannum. Glad you got to see her near the end.

Yeah jehannum sorry to hear about your mum.
Most importantly of all we hope not to see them suffer so sounds like she passed mercifully before further and worse discomfort.

My mom died this morning. She turned 70 years old last month.
Lots of memories playing through my mind, and waves of nausea keep passing through me as I write. I hope that eventually only the good memories will remain.
Very sorry for your loss, Jehannum. Regarding your last comment, believe me, you will be left with some wonderful memories. It'll take time, but that's the way it usually works.
