I have to hand it to you....you handled that like a DBing champ! I have to take notes. I think it's a good thing she was able to be that upset in front of you....it shows a comfort. I also think you are right that it's not related to you but to her mother. My father's health is not the best post stroke and I worry about him and when things take a turn for the worse, it stresses me out. It's hard to think of yourself getting older, but for me, it's even harder to think of my parents aging. And to not be near them is very difficult too. I feel a lot of guilt about that. It's actually my mother who laughs at me and tells me to live my life and not worry about them...yeah right. I know, even in happier times, I was distracted and distant when my father first had the stroke and I remember snapping at H about it. He was so great then, he would just either hug me, or touch my arm but never said anything because there really are no words. You handled that great. Would sending flowers to her mother be out of line?
