Death and dying is for old people and as far as I can tell, a lot of people aren't sure about when they officially hit "old".

Cindy suffered a stroke that incapacitated her and it likely came on without any forward warning. Because Cindy isn't capable of speaking for herself, we'll never know what her wishes were, who she wanted involved, or if she had plans to make her wishes official before life did what life does. If all of this is Cindy's fault, well she sure is paying a hefty price without us being judgmental about it.
