I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling deeply with the loss of your mom. It is devastating to watch your parent take their last breath and experience suffering prior to that happening.
I did the same with my mother who died from cancer in a hospital bed and my father at home in his bed a few years later as I cared for him for many months with his cancer.
I am a breast cancer survivor myself of 23 years now and feel fortunate to be alive at 68.
And I'm an RN that has assisted many while working in people's homes for several years as a hospice nurse.
But watching a parent leave is a completely different experience. They are your parents.
It is an incredible gift you gave being at your mother's bedside. The grieving and sinking in takes awhile especially when you had such a close relationship with her. Thank you for sharing about it.
