It's hard, but sometimes that's what they need. She needs reassurance that you are able to take care of yourself, your dad, and Steven and Dee. Tell her that you are ok. Have your brother do the same thing. She's a mom. She worries.. 
My dad passed between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.. we couldn't even bury him until Yom Kippur was over. It was so hard to sit through services on Yom Kippur that year, especially Yizkor. I was saying the prayers for my mom, but not for him, since he hadn't been buried yet.
Please let me know if there's ANYTHING I can do. I may be at Barix on Saturday because Siehara has a Bat Mitzvah in Langhorne. I'm thinking of going to the service, but maybe we can meet up for lunch depending, of course, on the situation with your mom.

Sorry I'm so late. Had a viciously busy but productive day.. Too many things to do. Most importantly, got my car inspected.
Beth, I'm thinking of you. Sorry I have no experience to draw from. Just know that God is in the midst of what you and your Mom are going through, and that He loves you both.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Lisa,
She has seen everyone close to her including Deanna. I just saw her and my nephew was there reading to her. My niece went to see her yesterday. I never thought of giving her permission to let go. I was thinking that she was waiting for Sukkot to be over. My brother and I were trying to figure out logistics of mourning time and the holiday. It has definitely been a challenge!
Thank u for your continued thoughts, prayers and love!
Love, Beth

My continued thoughts are with you and your mom, Beth. I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this to you, but what about giving her permission to let go? I know it's not an easy thing to do, but it may be just what she is waiting for. If she has seen everyone she wants to see, then that may be all she needs. My mom was quite stubborn, too. I made sure that everyone important to her had been in to see her and then I sat with her and let her know that she had fought long enough and it was ok to let go. I told her that she had taught me well and that I would do ok without her.
Has Dee been in to see her? I know it may be hard for her, but it might be just what they both need. If it is Dee that she's waiting for, I'm sure that she wouldn't let go while Dee is there. It's weird how things like that work. She may also have been waiting for everyone to go so she could let go. She may want to be alone with your dad. My dad did that. It was just he and my step-mom, even though his cousin had been in the room for about an hour prior to his passing. He waited until my cousin left the room and then passed quietly while Carol was holding his hand.
I pray for peace for all of you..

Not being on Facebook anymore, nor checking here too often I did not realize your mother was at this stage. Thinking about you.
