My Mother lived a healthy life until she was 98. She was not sick and died a natural, easy death in her very own bed. We were very close. Unfortunately she died about a half hour before I got to her home. She looked as beautiful as ever, lying in her pristine bedroom. I lay down next to her and held her graceful hand for a while.
Not strange at all for you to want to be close to your mom. . I am glad you had that time with her and her passing was so gentle.
I have a memory of a cousin who climbed up in the hospital bed with her grandmother, my aunt. She cried her eyes out and held her grandmother. She was a young mother who would bring her children in to visit and would be bright and chipper with the children, but when she arrived alone that day she was the grandchild needing to hold her grandmother one last time.
I am sorry for your loss.
Wishing you healing, my friend, and my condolences on your loss.
