I know how hard this has been for you. Its never easy seeing a loved one hurting, it makes us feel so helpless. Im so glad you had a good visit with your mother and she was alert. That memory will stay with you forever. Try to allow the memories of happier, healthier times help to ease your sorrows. May your mother now rest in peace. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
