[quote=Anonymous]My mother died at 50 and I struggle with empathy for people who get really, really upset when their 70-something and 80-something parents die after brief illnesses. I am thankful I do not have to witness a lengthy decline for my mother. I was semi-estranged from my father, who died in his sleep at 68, so no regrets there. My father in law was a good man and died after a brief illness at 80. My mother in law is now 80 and is struggling with dementia and its sad. I get a tiny hit of envy when I see people with able-bodied, mentally with-it grandparents, but I try to keep my eyes on my own paper and work on myself so I can live past 50.[/quote]
