She's in bad shape, and I just HATE going over there now. My wife forces me, and she wants to spend all the last minutes with my mom. She's not the mom I remember, and I don't want those new memories of her in this state.
While you hate going, wouldn't it help your mother knowing that you are there for her? I realize that the body is weak, but I am sure that her spirit is willing. I regret not having visited a favorite uncle more often when he was in this same condition, for the same reasons you state, but I would do it for her, if I were in your shoes.
