EW I take it your father is gone, possibly could she be missing him? My mother thought she'd be okay after my Dad died but she confided in me that she wasn't. It was harder than she thought and she was terribly lonely even though my older sister & hubby, & SIL went there each day. My sister in law spent the nights with her but it didn't seem to help. I know because I used to call her daily and be on the phone with her for hours to help her through the times when no one was there.

I feel so bad for your Mom but, dear friend, you have done all you can. You are a great daughter to her. You're right, you can't take the blame for her loneliness, you've done all you can.
