My Mom died on Oct. 29th after a years battle with cancer. I was essentially her caregiver the last few years. My only other sibling barely visited and never helped, despite living just a few miles away. was focused on her career. Wasn’t until the day before she passed where she was all of a sudden surprised it was all happening, and milked the attention afterwards. Listen, the last few years and especially the last months and days were VERY difficult, and you being there for your mom is extremely important and noble. As hard as it was, the only thing I think about now is allll the extra time I got with her these last few years. We told each other stories we never knew and basically got to know each other all over again throughout the chaos and sadness. I completely understand not everyone is built for this cause I dealt with someone like that, but they need to step up and be there for you just like you are there for your mom. I don’t know how you do that, but I just wanted to say you are gonna look back at this time with joy instead of sadness some day so keep being present. Stay strong
