Dear SherriT,
thanks for the update, it's true many months have gone by, and I wondered how things were going for you and your parents.
i am sorry it is sad news that you write. Can you go to where your parents are - and get some home care support set up for them, or at least talk to your Moms doctor and find out whaat referrals he can give you for community care?
there has to be someone who can come in for your mom and ease your worries
When you and your sister live far away - you need to have some reassurance afor have your mom in comfort.
i hope you will let us know what transpires and i am glad you have returned to drop a line.
Regardless of the time in between someone is always listening
Sending you best wishes,
NatR
