and mourn with me the loss of my mother...

She was just 45 and the center of the family, the happiest woman on earth and all of a sudden... she's not there anymore. Something with the brain or a heartattack and she wasn't discovered for a while, my father tried everything he could to reanimate her, but nobody could help her, they said to could get the blood circuit going later on, but... no she's dead... man I'm crying, I have cried... I don't know, this is the first time death struck my family and it was so unforseeable and damn it had to take my mom... damn damn damn damn

She died on a sunny september 22th, just as sunny as she was

I just read and am deeply saddened and lift you in prayer.

I too have had a piece of my heart removed, Oct 21 2000.

You have my deepest sympathies. This is a time to be with your family and cherish the best memories. Something else you need to do is find out why she died. If she died of some sort of complication of atherosclerosis - cholesterol plaques in the arteries, you and your sister need to be aware that as you approach age 35 you should have your doctor monitor you closely for modifiable risk factors of atherosclerosis. These include high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, smoking and obesity. One legacy you can give back to her is to shield yourselves from the thing that took her away from you.

Thank you for the tip, I know my mother suffered from high blood pressure, sometimes so high you might have wondered how one can live with that, but she took her pills and then the pressure went down. There is nothing else one could do. We also tried to consult several doctors over the time, but none could offer any help. But especially lately it wasn't really a problem and then boom, it is believed that a vein in her brain exploded leading to immediate death. We will know better on Monday after the autopsy.
The shadow was always there, but it wasn't evident so much and then on this one day she was happy and she felt good and everything... so

Grandpa Troll, my sympathies as well!

My condolences. I have no idea how you feel right now, and, I, too, shudder at the day this will happen to me.

Sorry for your loss, Atahualpa

[Mr. Harley]

Atahualpa - actually you want to start watching your cholesterol now, especially since you seem to have a family history concerning high BP. Both you and your sister need to get it checked. The damage to the arteries starts in the teen years, if not earlier, especially for you - your sister's estrogen will give her some protection. God bless.

my condolences

Nothing we can write could ease your pain.

I feel for you though. I've lost my father in the same way, but he was much older.
