| I'm sorry OP. My mom's funeral took place on the day that my oldest kid (her first granchild) turned 2yo. I'm so grateful she got to meet him. And yes, it's a lot harder if you're working. Try to appreciate what you've had and make sure your kids do as well. It will stick with them in so many important ways. |

Yes, not comparable at all. OP was raised by a loving and supportive mom who also is a loving grandmother. You on the other hand was raised by some low bred mean trash. OP loves her mother and sounds like a lovely person. You sound like a toxic and mean person. Yes, not comparable at all. |

| This is PP. Your role, 100%, is to be with your mom. I just went through this. My DH handled the kids for a month. I stayed with my Dad in Hospice (while working remote). Was it easy on my kids? No,it wasn't. At all. Would I change anything? No. There are times to put yourself ahead of others, and your mom/dad dying is one of them. |

OP,
I'm so sorry for your pain and impending loss. However, please realize that you don't want a long-drawn out suffering! You want her to go quickly. This is a blessing in disguise. Stay strong. |

I am so sorry OP. I lost my mom 22 years ago and still cry, not everyday but at least once a week.
Just love on her and be kind to yourself. It is life altering. |

| OP, Your plan of getting together with Mom here and there sounds good. |
