I know what devoted and caring kids you were to your mum all these years and I imagine there is a powerful mixture of grief, loss and relief on your part(s). Many of us of about the same age as you are dealing with our parents' final years and, although you can see their death coming and in theory have ample time to prepare yourself, I doubt that it is ever enough when the day actually comes. As always, Joni says it best...
