**Darth Nader,** I’m so sorry. There just aren’t words. You and your mother are in my thoughts. ---

I’m very sorry to hear this news. I lost both my parents just over a year ago and I went through a range of strong emotions. I found it incredibly helpful to get grief counselling (from a UK charity called [Cruse](http://www.crusebereavementcare.org.uk/)). ---

[QUOTE=Autolycus] Was she going to die anyway? I’m sorry to discuss such painful details, but I’m ignorant about the whole process. My deepest sympathies for your loss. Seriously. Sending prayers/vibes/thoughts your way. [/QUOTE] I’m thinking she drank heavily, or to the point that her liver went out. That’s what I gather from the posts, that she was upset about her mom passing a few years ago and then hit the bottle. In any case, I wish you and the rest of your family the best **Darth**. ---
