Winding Down

Work is done for the next week and a half, and all my alarms are now turned off. Heard from my brother that Mom is pretty much in final decline and headed towards hospice care, so we were right not to make any specific plans for the foreseeable future, as I'm unsure she'll live to see 2026. Not entirely unexpected, once you start refusing to eat your body doesn't have enough fuel to heal itself any more. I have all kinds of reactions all at once, but mostly acceptance at this stage, as I came to terms with things last year. I just don't know how much my life will change after she goes. But one step at a time.
