This post is such a blessing. You have truly been a role model for us caregivers. You made your mom as happy as she could be for her last monnths and now she is at peace with a smile on her face. The happy memories will live on in you forever and you can now go back into your life knowing you did the very best for her.
I'm sorry for your loss, but I bet that the way this all played out, you are at peace as well.
Thank you for sharing your and your Mom's journey with us.
Blessings,
Kathy
