Colleen,
I know only too well what you meant by "hoping for a miraculous recovery" because I am hoping that miraculously, this will never come back to haunt my mom again. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and want you to know that I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers. A very old preacher once told me that you die when God is ready for you, not a minute before nor a minute after. Like some of the others have said, please use this time to spend with your mother and let the love between you just flow.
Nancy T.
