Hello, I have a lot of pain as my mother does. When I was younger during my working/career years I felt she just needed to get up and exercise. I had no idea how much pain she was actually in until now. She does not recognize any of us now and I wish I had been more understanding of what she was going through. Now it is too late. I have plenty of guilt even though we clashed most of my life and were not very close, at least as much as I wanted.
Oldest of six.

Namaste, Cher51,
I hear you, and you understand her now, she doesn't recognise you but you can still be present for her, turn up, just sitting in the same space with her. We can't turn back time, but we can make the most of the present, try and reconnect in a different way, she may not remember her son but you can be her new supportive friend if she will let you.

Sending you peace and blessings
