I'm sorry Lurpsie. I'd be terrified too. It is a role reversal no one should have to handle - moms are who we go to when bad things happen. I think you have to allow yourself to grieve some, and to cry some. And then you have to ask yourself, "what can I do that will help?" Help her, help yourself, help your family. And ask yourself honestly, what are you afraid of? I'd be afraid of having to take care of my dad - something I could not do. But you might be afraid of something else. Whatever your fears are, try not to judge them. Acknowledge them - don't beat yourself up.
It won't be easy. Have faith though. And I agree, we are here.
