Help my dad through this time

Donation protected
Hi there, I write this with a heavy heart. We lost Betty (Bjork) Gross, my brother's and my mom, my brothers wife and my husband's second mom, our kiddo's grandma, most importantly my dad's soul mate love of his life for 44 would have been 45 years this coming December.. my mother in law's basically sister. And anyone else I might have left out that I know my mom meant the world to. She was born and raised in Harlowton, Montana a true Montana women. We had her go via ambulance Friday to be checked out cause she was severely dehydrated and had the dry heaves and nausea but they had her there til midnight at about 9pm they gave her her heart meds because she hadn't had them Friday due to not being able to keep anything down and they said if she stabilized cause her BP and heart rate were high that she could go home.. they ran tests even CT for pulmonary embolism and couldn't find anything.. I asked the Dr if he'd do a triponin test which is a blood test that would show if there was any heart issues going on.. He just asked mom if she was having chest pain she said no.. But if you look on CDC website it states women can have extreme exhaustion and vomiting/nausea leading up to heart attack or during.. within a couple hours they'd send her home if her BP and heart rate went down well they sent her home at midnight with a bp of 194/59 92bpm claiming she was at baseline.. That is not baseline and then Saturday morning dad gave her her morning meds at 8 like normal.. well around 1020 he heard her growning like she was Friday over her nausea.. came in to check on her and she was trying to make her way from the bathroom to the livingroom and she collapsed over her walker and so he kicked that out of the way and laid her down and she took one last look at him.. he called 911 they tried to bring her back for over 40 minutes no pulse at any point so they called time of death at 11:18am Saturday morning April 15th.. I feel like the hospital should have ran more tests especially seeing her BP was elevated and heart rate was over 100+ bpm continuously while just lying in the hospital.. and the fact she had just had right hip replacement surgery on Tuesday the 11th. Mom believed in fighting for what is right and I will do the same for her. Dad at this time is gonna need all the help he can get. Bills are needing to be taken care of, and cremation arrangements as well as a trip to Montana to spread some of her ashes over the crazy women mountains where she always wanted to be in the event she ever passed. I'm at a loss for words, I'm angry, sad, lost and so is my daddy and brother and our kiddos who loved their grandma so much. Please if you can donate and help it would mean the world. If you can please share this out. Mom's legacy touched many peoples lives and now it's our turn to help with her final wishes and help Daddio get through this unbearable time. I love you all and thank you for even just taking the time to read this.
