She was miserable at the end. Her death was a relief for many, including herself. Nothing tragic about her death, at all. Way to go.

I'm not sad to see him pass, but it's going to be hard on my mom and she has been spending too much time at the nursing home and it's wearing her out.

Ow, man. So very sorry. I think in the end after long illnesses death comes as a relief to everyone--at least from what I've seen in my own family and those of friends. Nothing to fear. Best wishes to you and yours.
