sorry to hear that. it sounds like it happened on her terms at least. my grandpa would've definitely gone that route if it was legal here.
She took her leave at 10 this morning, she was focused and resolute to the end. My physician neice was there to help and it was calm and peaceful. We are gathered at my middle sisters now.
She was badass till the end. She wanted her cocktail mixed with some aged scotch whiskey.

It's been a week now. I have been sleeping poorly and after I got up and fed the crazed chihuahua at 4 am, I went back to bed and slept in till after 9. it was a cumulative deficit.
Our roommate came home from a particularly heartbreaking case today. The really elderly dog was at the end of life, and the lady owner had hoped the dog would outlast her husband who had Alzheimer's.
It did not work out that way. He sat there unresponsive and appearing to not pay attention, but when that moment came and the veterinarian told the lady that the dog was gone, her husband mouthed a silent scream and was visibly upset. It was truly heartbreaking. It tears me up to type it out.
I have been on that edge all day anyway, but that was real and some tough stuff. He has a hard job, really hard sometimes.
I'm sorry. Glad she was able to do it in her way and with her family gathered around.
Now, go celebrate her life!
Sorry to hear that and glad you're doing ok. It's a good reminder. My wife recently lost a relative and the whole legal/asset process has been smooth because it was all laid out ahead of time. Straightforward trust, last wishes etcI'm fine fellas. I want to remind people to take care of business. There are no guarantees for tomorrow.
Try to not leave a total shit show for your respective families, Etc.
My neighbor Pete's brother left one of those complete nightmares, he purchased houses for kids, did not clean up titles, had a shit ton of vehicles. Pete ran back to Ohio repeatedly to try and clean it up as executor. It all ended badly and he is now forever the bad guy for his brother's children.
Clean up your stuff and sleep well.
Wife's bestie did not do too bad, but she was a retired legal secretary and could have done even better.
