I live by myself and have gone thru this whole process alone , cooked, washed clothes, drove to Dr appts. and at times I wish I had someone to help, but I made it and got better and stronger daily.What does your Mother say about her condition? I feel sorry for this decision that has to be made or rather for you for having to make it. I was stationed in DC at Bolling AFB years ago in the Honor Guard and Drill Team. My son was at the Naval Base right next to Bolling in the Navy Honor Guard. Good Luck with your Mother and what you do.
