You aren't a hamster killer. Hamsters just don't live very long is all. My mother had them in her class and she only had one that lived very long, probably no longer than Hammie. And believe me, she took no special measures. That poor hamster was mauled by children and I doubt it's cage was ever scrubbed down with bleach at all.
It's just the nature of hamsters. It's too bad your mom won't let you get a dog or cat or rabbit. I think Muffled is right. You give them a good loving home when they're here, what more can you do?
I'm very sorry for your loss.
