It's been an emotionally draining day. She had breast cancer, and as of a couple of weeks ago, we thought she had six more months. Then she got sicker and went on a respirator. They "pulled the plug" and she started breathing on her own and held on a few more days. Yesterday she passed 
She left behind her DH, two brothers, and 17yo dd. I just can't imagine what it must be like for her- only 17 losing her Mom. Her entire class was at the funeral, so I guess she's got plenty of support and she's not alone, but I'm 33 and can't imagine my Mom not being here...how can she handle this at 17??
The cemetery was right next to where my brother is buried, so we went there after the funeral. Jeffrey was only 6mo when he died- I never before realized his birthday was the day before Dad's. He would have been turning 36 this October. He was buried next to other babies- one of them was only 2mo, several were only listed as "Baby boy" or "baby girl" with one date, so I guess they died before or shortly after birth.
Babies aren't supposed to die!!! Neither are mothers with 17yos at home!!!
