gimster, all this caretaking that we boomers are experiencing can often be mind boggling. Try to take care of yourself during this difficult time. Maybe - read uplifting books, listen to music you love, take warm baths, walk, pray, and seek God's will for your relationship with your mom.

I am kicking myself for not praying more and reading the Bible more with my mom when she was still with us and becoming more and more sick. Perhaps this is something you could do with your mom because I recall from other posts that she may be open to this. Reading God's word to the sick has tremendous healing factors for both people involved. I hope you don't mind my sharing this. Just trying to help.
