It's wonderful that you have been there to take care of your mother. And when she is no longer with us, it will be difficult to carry on. Grieving a loved one is extremely painful. I lost my grandmother almost three years ago and I still tear up talking about her. My immediate thought when I saw her take her last breath was that I wanted to die and be with her. I don't want to live without her. But I know she would never want me to do that. She would want me to continue to live and be the best that I can be. I know she's watching over me. My turn will eventually come. I'm hoping this is the case with you. Pm me if you need to. I totally understand your thoughts about this.
