I didn't see this until now. Hon I am SO sorry for what you had to go through. I, too, held my mother as she died of cancer, and nothing ever made such an impact on my soul as that. Even when we don't have the greatest relationships with our mothers, they are still our MOMS. And I just want you to know that even though it seems like it will hurt forever, it will get better over time. As ttime goes by, you will have more peace with it, and be able to let it go.
You did a wonderful thing for your mom by being there for her during her last struggles on earth. She knew you were there, even when she couldn't tell you, I am sure she knew and she was able to leave this world at peace knowing her daughter was there holding her and loving her. She wasn't alone and that is what is so important.
Sending big hugs. Be kind to yourself.
