Does someone who is close to where your Mum is living use Skype? You can then arrange a time to speak to Mum face to face, that might help you both. Video calls on a Mobile is another device that could connect you both.
Sorry that is all I can think of that might help... You take care of yourself, your Mum would want that

Thank you sky! Yes you're right, I said the same to my husband today. She wouldn't want me to suffer and be all torn up inside. So I'm trying to take care of myself better now, have fun time with my dogs, eat better (good sleep still eludes me mostly), breath and relax, and let it all settle a bit.
These were easy the most stressful weeks I ever experienced because it was on all levels, mentally, emotionally, and physically. And then on top of that this relative ... what a narcissist he turned out to be! My chin's been on the floor more than once because of how he talks and things he did.
Which brings me to your suggestion. He and his wife are the only ones of the family who live near the hospital and currently visit my mom. And he doesn't like me and doesn't talk to me. So there's no way to arrange something like Skype or similar. Ugh I could go on about him but I'll spare you. I'm very hurt and furious about how he talked to me and also some things he said about my mom. She doesn't know any of this of course, she's just happy they're helping her, and for that I'm also grateful.
