Dorety, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. It is such a great loss. I lost my mother to ovarian cancer when I was 19 in 1978 and still miss her. Wish there were words to ease your pain but there are none. Counseling could be very helpful, especially since your grief is complicated by the anticipatory grief with hubby's illness. Will keep you in thought and prayer.
