In reply to the discussion: I lost my mother, and it's even worse than that. [View all]stevenleser
(32,886 posts)22. My condolences, I lost my mom August 18th, she was age 79.
I think you always have some regrets and wishes that certain things were different. I visited my mom every Sunday and brought my wife and youngest daughter who was almost 2 and 1/2 years old when mom passed. I was feeling regrets I hadn't visited more when a friend set me straight. "How many parents get a visit every week from their son, daughter in law and granddaughter. Stop feeling like you didn't do enough".
The point is, you do what you can, and in your situation I think you did. I hope that helps.
