My mum is dying 8 time zones away. I haven't seen her in 27 years.....my
5 older siblings (3 sisters and 2 brothers) are there at the hospital
with her. I feel so far away from them all. My mother wasn't perfect
and my childhood wasn't ideal, but she is still my mother, and helped
make me who I am today. It hurts so much to lose her.

So sorry to hear this, Jo.
If you can just hang on to a few Good memories, and just keep
remembering those in these difficult days, it might help you. As it is
completely impossible for you to get there, you will have to focus on
being with her in spirit. You Can do this: call upon all your inner
strength; take a few minutes each hour of your awake time (you will be
awake when the PNW is sleeping) and simply be With her.
Sorry you are not too well. Take care - this will take a lot out of
you; and you must look after you, for you, T. and M.
