saying goodbye

We just came back after spending the past 5 days in Kyoto.

Thank you to those who reached out to us and gave your condolences, we appreciate it!

Last Thursday, MIL and BIL had lunch together.

BIL went back to work and MIL had an appointment with her home care doctor and care worker.

When the doctor and care worker came, they found MIL collapsed in the kitchen and she had already passed.

Apparently her death was caused by an irregular heart beat.

I wrote previously here about when FIL passed and this is similar to what happened on Saturday and Sunday.

On Monday and Tuesday, SIL and I cleaned...eww to rat poop!

We all agreed that we should all pay for professionals to come in to get rid of  "things" because there is just too much stuff to get rid of.

It was so sudden but I am glad she did not suffer.

I am thankful she was not bedridden, did not have dementia and lived by herself for as long as she did.

I am thankful to all the care workers, doctors, BIL and SIL for always looking out for MIL.

Friday would have been her 92nd birthday.

We love you MIL and you will be missed.

92nd! she lived a full life, and you're right that it's a good thing she didn't suffer with illnesses that is so often associated with extreme old age. I find it just amazing that she lived by herself...my father-in-law has had live-in caregivers since 2015 but thankfully no dementia.
