[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry you're in this situation. I lost my mom 10 years ago when she was a 4-hour drive away. I went to be with her three long weekends over a two month period from beginning of illness to the end. Like your mom, she had her husband there with her and he was her primary caregiver. She also had hospice care. She did not want me to uproot my young children's lives and leave my husband for months, not knowing how long it would be. I cherished the time that I had with her and I did the very best I could do. It was such a difficult time in every way, and I felt so unsure of what was the right thing to do. You do what works for your family and know that your mom would not want you to feel guilty. Take care of yourself. [/quote]
