Why can't I sleep?

Karen, I am so sorry about your mother. I think we all have thoughts on things we could have done differently when our parents pass. I know I did for my father. I still regret so many things. The thoughts hit most when we are trying to go to sleep. I have a feeling that is very normal... but it still doesn't help us sleep. Go easy on yourself right now, because you are grieving the loss of someone you loved. For some reason she lost the will to live. I don't know if maybe you are a bit angry about that, but if you are it is understandable. Just allow yourself to grieve. If it becomes too bad, maybe your doctor can give you a temporary sleep aid.

It doesn't feel like it now, but it will get better in time. I hope that soon the memory of her last days fade and you remember the mother you had before she fell.
