Oh I can relate. So strange, my mother and I had been estranged for 8 months, too, before just the week before her death. Strange coincidence...although since this last time I got sober, I don't believe in coincidences anymore, but in my Higher Power's will for me and others. It brings us together in strange ways! I was very newly sober when she died, and how I stayed sober, I have no idea, but I'm so glad I was before the worst hit!
