Having been in that situation with my dad leas than six months ago, all I can say is to say what you want to say to her, Tom. I know we don't know if they can hear, but I was glad I got to talk to my Dad before he died, even though I wish I'd been able to say some of those things while he was still lucid. My love to you.

I'm so sorry Tom. I hope your mother's passing is peaceful and full of grace.

I'm sorry, Tom. Whether it's a positive relationship or a negative one or just complicated, losing your mother is heavy and fraught and destabilizing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Love to you, Tom.
