Oh, I'm so glad I read through all the posts and read your 2nd one here. While I agree that it's reprehensible that it's all falling on your mom and with everything that everyone else said, I was going to caution you to tread lightly for your mom's sake. We have to be careful not to add MORE stress by way of making them feel guilty for complaining, etc. That happens all too easily.
Sounds like you have a great calmness about you making you a great one to play liaison. I agree with the "plea" for help route.
Best of luck. At times like this, we learn way more about family than we really ever wanted to. Hugs to you all. (And yes, being executer or POA can delay the grieving process. So be ready to lend a shoulder and a hug when the time comes for her. It will hit her hard.)
