I could relate a similar story of my sister & me with our mom. I totally TOTALLY get where you’re at right now. Don’t beat yourself up because you want her to be at peace!

Life just really sucks sometimes. And yes it does make you question what kind of god would put anyone through such misery. You must be going through the roof right now!

We are all thinking about you and hope she is at peace very soon. Try to be kind to yourself. You’ll get through this.

Here’s a hug anyways for what little comfort it probably is.
