Very sorry to hear that; I hope the family gets all the much needed support to cope. These sudden ones are just numbing and so difficult to take in.

A few years ago a friend of mine, mid 40's, came back from a pub drink after work, his usual, put the key in the door... and dropped; brain tumor - completely unexpected. Very shocking.

Sad news Nick, all the more so for being so sudden.

It must be terrible for the lad finding his mother so.

As we get older this happens more often, but it never gets easy.

For a young woman to leave a young child so suddenly is just tragic.

We must be grateful for what we have while we are here, including our memories of friends who have gone.
