Opinion: Two Deaths; they couldn't be more similar, they couldn't be more different

This past Easter my mother died. She was 75 years old and was active until the last month of her life. She was troubled by Rheumatoid Arthritis for 15 years and had constant joint pain and deformity yet managed to get around and see friends and family. She had few other health problems; she was a smoker. In her last weeks she had significantly worse joint pain and decreased mobility. As is common, she fell in her home, couldn't get up and came to the hospital via EHS.
