My auntie Terese died this morning.
She has been in hospital for a couple of days. Her living will specified no measures to prolong her life,just her comfort.


I drove her back home to her brother Edgar's funeral less than a month ago. She was the last of my mom's siblings.

18. If your Mom is still around, this might hit her hard. My parent's sibs
all died in recent years, and I think it made my parents quite conscious of their own mortality

19. No,mom has been gone for four years now.
Auntie Terese's grandson asked me lots of questions about what to do regarding arrangements. It made me realise my own mortality cause he was looking to me for guidance in this.
