experienced the loss of loved ones.
We watched my mom suffer a major stroke in June '09 and go from the hospital to skilled nursing where she reposed the week of Christmas same year.
I felt my husband and I 'did enough' only in that we chose the wrong path of treatment for her. A dear friend of hers warned me to not do that to myself because it'll make ME sick.
You did the best you could. Think on the positive things and push any negative thoughts of guilt or condemnation away.
Love to all at this holiday season from a sister in humanity,
