If she had not had the fall, she would have been gone in the next day or two they found a large blood clot in her lungs. They performed a procedure and got the clot removed, but her mental functing skills have gone downhill. I have lost too many people, and I don't know how I will be if she passes any day soon.

Hello @otroo. It's understandable that the loss of your wife is still raw grief. I'm glad your mom is still with you, even if more physically than cognitively, but her cognitive decline is indeed still a loss. I saw that over years with my dad, who lost his full life only recently, along with my brother.
