MessageMichael,
Didn't Gautama Buddha's mother die a week after his birth? According to the Life Story of the Buddha in 'The Awakened One' by Sherab Chodzin Kohn:
"Seven days after the Buddha's birth, Queen Mahamaya dies. Her sister Mahaprajapati Gautami, who was also married to King Shuddhodana, was chosen to nurse and raise the child. Mahaprajapati was full of love forher sister's son and raised him like her own favorite."
Best,
Rex
