And she had severe osteoporosis. Her skeletal system was basically crumbling.Every day was more painful than the day before, especially after she had back surgery and they fused 3 of her vertebra together and the doc almost changed his mind in the middle of her procedure because her bones were so brittle they wouldn't take a screw.
Her internal organs were fine and so was her brain.
She made the decision that it was time to die, because life was becoming torture.
She took too many pain pills.
The obits read that she died peacefully in her sleep after a long illness.
After the experience of caring for her in her final days, I have been reading between the lines when I read someon's obituary.
