Hi Connie. Do as much as you can with your mom, as long as you can. I lost my mom and step-dad, along with two aunts, almost two years ago, within one month...shook me (us, really) up pretty bad...and I live 320 miles from where they were, and being that traveling is difficult, due to many, many disabling injury/accidents, I couldn't visit them as often as I would have like to...be close to her, and just love her...it's her time to be cared for now...
