I, too, understand. I watched my mom die of cancer at only age 60 (I was just 36) and we had never had an ideal relationship, but she was my mom and it was hard to lose her. Then three years later, I took care of my grandma when she died of cancer. Before I was even 40, I had buried both of them and found myself the matriarch.
I don't think being older would have made anything easier. You always want your mom's love.
