Someone asked about the ending of life signs and what to look for. My mother's last week of her life was very amazing.

She was like a "super nova"; I thought she was making a big recovery. She wanted to use her new (1 year old) washing machine! I did all the laundry and house cleaning up until then. She was like a new woman who was very interested in her world; she died of stroke and heart failure that Sunday 12/09/ 2001 a sleep in her easy chair watching TV as she wanted to. It was easy for her but not for me as this was considered an unattended death and was a police matter. Being a Sunday we had to wait for the country coroner to sign the death certificate. The funeral home wanted a extra $75.00 for a home pick up! (what am I supposed to say, "NO WAY, I'LL STRAP HER ON THE HOOD OF MY CAR!" $8,000.00 (plus) later I had her buried with dignity.
