Oh, your poor mom! What a hard thing for her to go through. I hope that she will get better and better and better. Please take one thing at a time yourself, and try not to be overwhelmed. Get good sleeps and eat well. You have a huge heart but you'll need to nuture yourself through this busy season too, with no feelings of guilt for things left undone and traditions unfulfilled.

Love and hugs,
