Please don't smoke. It took mom at 59. She's had problems from smoking since she was a kid. All the breathing problems, but also Vascular desease. She didn't pee for a couple of days and got abdominal pain so they all were assuming kidney stones. Shes on blood thinners for the desease and had stints in the past. But she had a clot that was not caught, the main artery to the digestive tract. The colon, large intestine and 90% of the small intestine were dead. Even if she could have survived that, the blood thinner made the blood not clot and she passed quick.
I'm really sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you. I'v been fighting the smoking addiction for 12 years now. I want to quit bad... Hope I can soon.
Lost mine sept 16 2001 , I'm sure smoking had a big part of it, never understood the attraction myself. my sympathy to you and yours. Derek
Sorry to hear of your loss my dad passed at 58 also smoking related(cancer). It gets easer but there is not a day that will go by that you will not think of her. It has been almost 7 years since my dad passed and I think of him every day. My thoughts are with you.
Sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my Mom to smoking related lung problems four years ago. Not a pleasant thing to go through. My prayers are with you and your family.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my dad a couple years ago to lung cancer. He was only 57. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Eric
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, my mother has been givin 2 months to live at this time and I have to say i'm devestated to say the least! i'ts a miracle she has lastedthis long and we are blessed for every day she is here. But your mother is resting in peace nowand will no longer suffer. God bless you and your family, and remember she is never gone as long as she is not forgoten. Buzz
Prayers sent for your mom and you and family. Alot of us here know your pain too well as we have lost either Mom and or Dad because of smoking. My Dad passed away at 58 in 1979 and not a day goes by that I don't think of him. I have to stop too because now I'm 54 and have smoked for 37 years. My deepest sympathy
my condolences and prayers to you and the family. It seems odd, I lost my mom at 59 due to smoking too. Took a while, but it made me quit. 9 years smoke free now. It can be done. Bud
At first I thought, "I lose my mom in Walmart all the time"... Then I realized how much of a bastard I am. I can't imagine losing a parent. I still have both of mine and this thread just makes me realize that I should spend more time with them. The sincerest of condolences to you and your family. Remember the best of her.
I'm very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I commend you for trying to pass on the no smoking message. My father passed away from kidney cancer in 2006. Over 90% of kidney cancers are related to smoking. (His cancer eventually spread to his lungs and liver). When his doctor called him and my mother in to tell them that that my dad had less than a year to live he told the doc that he quit smoking in 1964. The doc looked at my mom and asked "Do you smoke?" She nodded and he looked back at my dad and said "Then you still smoke." So there's a real danger in breathing second hand smoke too. My dad and I weren't extremely close but after nearly three years, I still think about him almost every day.
