I needed to see this. I lost both my parents over the last several years. Losing mom was the harder one. I still feel guilt that we didn’t force the doctors to keep fighting for her.. they said the risk wasn’t worth it.. Or if we had lined something up with the Mayo Clinic.. At this point what’s done is done.. still not sure but I know it wasn’t easy letting go. She was in hospice care at home with her family as she slowly let go. She needed a kidney/liver transplant- just wasn’t meant to be. All you can do sometimes is pick up the broken pieces and make a life out of it
