My condolences to you and your family. My mom passed away in December, and, like you, I’m thankful it happened before the covid-19 pandemic. She would have worried herself to death, if nothing else. Take care.

My mom died back in October, and I feel the same way. Don’t beat yourself up over having those feelings. It just means that you’re still looking out for your mom in a way that only family can.

I’m sorry for your loss.

**Wheelz** , I’m sorry, I didn’t see this until now. Given that the times seem glum, and you obviously were down, it’s good you shared with us. Take care of yourself, and we will be thinking about you.
