She went in with chest pains and very low blood pressure, but we were told it was not life threatening. The next morning she died and all that we were told is that her heart just stopped? Could this be diagnosed? Thank you. In my grief, I am just trying to make some sense of what happened???

Sorry for your loss.

I knew a guy who was jogging in the park and just drop dead. He was 45 yrs old. His heart just stopped. He had a weak heart. My point is, sometimes things just happen.
I am so sorry that this happen to you.
Hugs!!!
It is disturbing to think things are going well, and then BOOM. Mom got to the hospital and you were hoping she was getting better. And were shocked when this happened. I hope her life was long and good, and your memories will sustain you until time can heal you, leaving you with only the good memories. She was in the ICU. She was in the best place to get the best chance. She just couldn't make it. I am so sorry. No one could have predicted it for you.
A lot of people are in your same situation when their loved one is put on hospice. They are not expecting them to actually die in 6 months, and are sure something had to have been done improperly. The fact is, we are more likely to die suddenly the older we get. I heard Dr. Laura on the radio talking about her late husband who was fidgety in bed one night and she was tired of being bothered so she told him to get up and get some water. He walked down the hall and his heart stopped! He hit the floor and that was enough of a shock to cause it to start back up, but he was never well again I think. Sudden death does happen, but we just don't hear about it much because there's nothing to indicate that it would occur.
I'm truly sorry for your loss. You had one of the really awesome moms.
