[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have been in similar shoes. My mother was a single mom after my folks divorced. I wasn't close with ny father, and when my mother recently died of cancer, my father suddenly began calling. I somehow let go of the anger, guilt, etc. with my father and had a minimal relationship with ny father. Anyhow, he just died last week and I now realize the loss of both parents is sad and painful. I say all this because I think this is an opportunity to see and share with your mother before her death; you don't need forgiveness and you don't owe any explanations, but you may want to take this time to think of any questions you may have for her. And play it by ear. Be good to yourself; grief and anticipatory grief is exhausting. I am sorry you are going through this.[/quote]
