Not your fault
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's the normal thing to do, to think "What more could I have done? What didn't I do? What could I have done differently?", but there is nothing you could have done better. You were there for your mom when she needed you most, creating beautiful memories that you can now carry with you. You had no control over the stroke, it could have happened in her sleep. And maybe that was a blessing so she didn't have to suffer and spare you the pain of watching and feeling helpless. The doctors certainly don't know when our time will end, it's more like a weather forecast, and they can be so wrong. I believe your mother IS with you. When you find that flower and think of her, she is with you even if it's only in spirit. I hope you are healing and maybe for the holidays, light a special candle so your mom's memory can be with you all in light and the glow of love.
