Heart-rending and beautiful. I lost my sister a little over two years ago. Machines also kept her body breathing, but only for days—and though we didn’t understand the truth for the first twelve hours, she was already gone. Thank you for writing. 💙
What a hard thing for your mother to have to handle, in the 1950s when people didn’t really talk about their feelings, no grief groups, etc. The way you tell her story is beautiful and heart-rending.

Thank you for writing your story. Your Mom sounds like a very strong woman
Love the details of the photos hidden under the sweaters in your Mom's drawer. And her bringing them out just for you.
