Has your mother given your brothers reasons for her conclusion that her life is ending?

Older people sometimes do strange things that seem unreasonable to others but that make perfect sense to themselves.

I'm conscious of the recent sudden death of your son-in-law, and am especially pleased to know that your daughter is doing well, despite a vicious attack from outside her family.
