[quote=Anonymous]Do you have a faith tradition that you participate in? Praying helps keep the fear under control. It gives you something to do with your brain and stops the racing. I was raised Catholic and saying rosaries was a deeply meditative, calming exercise for me when my dad died. If you don't have that, do you have a book that your mom loved or that you love? Read it to her. She can take comfort in your voice and it will help you do something with your brain that is less painful than just sitting there. If not a book, what about a movie or music? Keep it quiet, but it can be comforting and relaxing to have it there in the room. You can hold her hand and listen to music that she loves. [/quote]
