Sending much sympathy - what a shock for you. But please don't feel guilty. I'm sure your mother wouldn't want you to. After all, you'd only just been, hadn't you? There was no way you could have known it was imminent.
I was there when my poor mother died at 97 - she'd had advanced dementia for some time, hadn't known any of us for a while and there was so sign at all that she was aware I was there.
But to be honest I almost wished I hadn't been there, since although she'd apparently been unconscious, her face contorted most dreadfully in the instant before she died. It was horrible to witness and nobody has been able to tell me why. It was nothing like the relatively peaceful cessation of breathing I'd been expecting.
I have to admit that although of course there was sadness, what we all felt rather more was relief that she was finally released from what had been a most pitiful and undignified existence - one which would have horrified her former self so much.
