Mom can't talk anymore

Hello, I haven't wrote much. I need to say that I am better now. My mother's illness has mentally hurt me plus COVID added more mental conditions. I am seeing a therapist and started working again, I haven't worked for 3 years. It's a start. My mom doesn't recognize me now close to a year and as the title says, cannot talk anymore. However, I still see her weekly, just left the nursing home. We prayed, I fed her, played her Italian old music and I actually got her to smile and laugh a little. I left feeling guilty again, I always feel I could do more. So I decided to come on here, just to speak my mind. I hope everyone has a nice Easter! God The father, Jesus Christ and the Holy spirit be with you all!!
