This is so hard....

[Frufru]

My Mum (85) has Alzheimer's and has a nasty chest infection, she is being treated with oral antibiotics and other drugs inc. morphine to make her comfortable. I live 250 miles away and due to medication for various illnesses I cannot drive. I came back from visiting her fir 7 days only a week ago and said my own private goodbye as I honestly believe this is the end, which has been confirmed by the doctor. Am I right in thinking it would be better to save my energy for m Dad when the inevitable happens? He is 86 and they have been married for 62 years
