jazcat,
I am sorry to hear of your mother's passing, but glad that you and your sister were there together with her. It is a blessing to her that she had her dear daughters with her, and a blessing to you to have the courage to be there and to help.

I don't know how to answer your question, so I will leave to others.

May you find peace and begin to remember the happier times soon.

Maria
