death is another part of life

My daughter called this morning to tell me about the death of my son-in-law's mother. She died of complications relating to brain cancer treatment. A month ago, the family was prepared. Her prognosis after surgery in which they removed a tumor was poor, but she responded well to radiation and chemotherapy and was steadily improving though still hospitalized.

I don't have reliable information yet, but it seems she died of rapid onset pneumonia.

Just because the hand death is part of the circle of life, it still sucks for those it leaves behind.

My empathy and love to Dave and his father.
