This is so good, Karen. When my mother was diagnosed with AML and it became clear that my sister would need help caring for her, I took a leave of absence and we both shared in mom's care so that, to the extent possible, she could stay home. But just as important was the desire we both had to be able to serve our mom and enjoy those last months with her, in gratitude to God for her life and love. As you were able to do the same with your mom, I'm sure you will come to see those very hard days as a precious gift, even as you grieve her absence. God heals our hearts.
