Today my mom had to go to a "viewing" of a little girl that she spent the past 6.5 years (72 hours/week) taking care of as her nurse. Tomorrow is the funeral.
How do you let go of something you spent so many hours nourishing?
She sat at the viewing for hours today because she couldn't leave. How is she going to handle her being buried tomorrow? She'll never see her again outside of the pictures that line her living room and her memory.
I'm glad I get to go home Saturday to try and help her out, but I'm not sure I'm enough to mend her heart. I'll have to leave to come back to my life.
So hard.
