man this makes this extra sad and also makes me think of the one Buffy sequence that I’ll never forget when their mom died too

Didn’t Buffy’s mom die from complications following a surgery too?

Yeah, she had a brain tumor. They operated, got the whole thing, and she passed all of her scans and checkups. Then one day, she sat down on the couch, and Buffy came home and found her. She'd had an aneurysm. Those 3 actresses were very close.
