One of her uncles lived to be over 100, and her sister is 80 and doing well...so she might have a lot of life left.Lori Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612141535162268390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844428295541303197.post-30149063468762957382014-09-08T13:47:46.086-04:002014-09-08T13:47:46.086-04:00Belated sympathy, Lori...

It's going to be a big life change for Mom after 67 years of marriage, and even though she misses Dad, there will be some positive changes, too. <br /><br />Galina, I think you're right. Dad never had a cold, never took a nap, and probably could have lived outdoors. But he did have all his teeth pulled around age 50--a sign something wasn't right. Given how healthy he was otherwise, though, I don't think he ever learned to take care of himself.Lori Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612141535162268390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844428295541303197.post-2163416983905647652014-09-03T10:10:45.996-04:002014-09-03T10:10:45.996-04:00Please, accept my condolences, Lori.

I know from experience that not unexpected death of an old person often brings more memories to celebrate his/her life than unbearable grief, but I am sure you feel grief as well.<br /><br />I noticed many times that naturally healthy and vital people have problems to follow a regiment necessary to manage unavoidable age-related issues. Their life-long experience taught them to ignore mild health hiccups because healthy body clears many things on its own. It doesn't work at an old age, maybe even more so for a demented brain which recollects better things from many years ago. The people who are not naturally healthy got used to adhering to a management of their usually multiple issues since young age, so it becames a second nature.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844428295541303197.post-5558022340715976592014-09-03T09:08:29.437-04:002014-09-03T09:08:29.437-04:00i'm so sorry for your loss, Lori! are you and...i'm so sorry for your loss, Lori! are you and your mother holding up all right?tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.com
