[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree. So sad that she passed. I almost hope she died before she fell because if she fell and needed help and died lying alone there would be such a terrible death. I am surprised that no one lived with her. I would think she have had live in help even for security reasons. It feels like everyday I am hearing about someone dying lately. Depressing time.[/quote]

It's not an uncommon death for the age in place crowd. Over the past 10 years 4 of my friends have lost parents to falls and many of us had parents fall and be stuck for hours before discovered. it's so hard to get them to agree to the level of help needed.

I was not a fan of the book recommended here..something like "On being Mortal" but it does help me make peace with the fact my mother could die the same way. She is stubborn, refuses help, considered cognitively fine and has a staircase from hell. If she dies falling down those steps, it's on her terms living the way she wants.[/quote]

But 73 is a bit young to be considered “aging in place” - and it’s young for Assisted Living. And obviously had every resource at her disposal.

He death was very shocking because she was so vibrant and larger than life.[/quote]

Actually, 73 is well within the nursing home age. Plenty of younger people in assisted living. But of course she had ample resources, so probably would not have gone that route even if much older. [/quote]
