Hopeand grace, parts of your story sound so familiar. I lost my precious mother 6 years ago to this dreaded disease. She was 66. I had two children under the age of 4. I am the only girl with 3 brothers. Unlike you I lived 2 1/2 hours away but was still very close to Mom. She was the epitomal Grandmother. Just be there for her. Cherish the time you have together and say the things you want to say. There will be things you will do for her that your brothers can’t. Stay strong and hold onto your faith. Losing my Mom was the hardest thing I’d ever been through but you will survive. It hurts like hell.
The good thing about this disease is that it makes you get real with each other, no sugar coating things just raw honesty. I got to say things to my Mom I probably wouldn’t have if not for being scared of losing her at any given moment. we had 6 precious months with her. I wish you alot longer with your Mom. Please know you are in my prayers. I know what you’re going through. I pray for miracles for you, no matter how small. Stay strong but know it’s ok to break down too-even in front of her. Love, Hugs and prayers, Carla
