Hello. Just a note to say I am in the middle of this myself, so cannot tell you how others got thru it, but I can and will keep you and your mom in my prayers. Seeing our parents go thru things is almost harder than going thru them ourself. Stay focused on the day by day, love each other, pray for God to intervene and Him decide the rest.

I lost my mom in Sept and going thru that process was the hardest thing I have ever done and I never thought I would be able to handle it, until I went thru it ... that is when you get the strength you need and that you never thought you had prior. She has now been gone almost a year - I miss her terribly, still start to go to tell her something and remember she is not there anymore (she was living for 5 yrs in an ensuite at my place so she was so close) ... but I know she is happy and out of pain so I release her and know someday I will rejoin her and for now she would want me to be happy and live life to its fullest with no regrets as she did.

Hang in there sweety. You can and will make it. ((HUGS))
