my friend from stockton passed away sometimes last week and i went to her funeral sometimes this week. she died in her sleep and she has like 5 kids, the youngest is her son (maybe 7 years old) who used to live with her along with her parents. the morning she died, the paramedics came and took her away and the son asked them, "why are you taking my mom away when she's still sleeping?"
That's what an elderly lady told me at the funeral. mmm my aunt speculated that she died from an overdose of her thyroid medication but the autopsy was inconclusive / or that she died from an unknown cause. but yeah at the funeral, in the end right before they put her in the cremator, her son was smiling and he had this carefree look on his face. it was at this point that i realized that he probably isn't aware of how serious the matter was - that he wasn't gonna see his mom in the flesh again.
r.i.p. my friend.
