I am truly sorry to hear about your mother. Unfortunately, this horrible beast does not discriminate and there is no answer as to why it would attack such a wonderful lady as your mother. There is little that makes sense sa to why her or why anyone else.
Please try hard to never give up hope. Take it a day at a time and make sure she gets all the time in the world with such a wonderful family. Take the time to make very special memories and make sure she knows how much all of you love her all the time. There are so many things in life that can not be explained but sometimes it is more tolerable to have those around you that love you so much.
Wishing you and your family only the best.
