I respect her family's request to not reveal her cause of death so I feel guilty even talking about. I would only add maybe like my mom it was quick and over. I watched my cousins in agony watching their parents in nursing homes for years with dementia or watch them die slowly with cancer. When its time go to sometimes something quick is the way to go. But sadly we dont get that choice.
Gosh her last 8 years were nothing short of amazing especially at her age.

My dear dear husband had dementia for 7 years and spent the last 4 in a nursing home, before he died peacefully.
My mother in law had an enormous stroke and died almost instantly…although this was a shock for everyone at the time…
I can say definitely which was better for everyone.
