Ellen that is the saddest story I have read in a very long time.

The two people who needed help most were you and your sister. Sadly, nobody seems to be aware of that.

Thank you for sharing this. I now have an idea of how my brother felt in caring for my mother's end-of-life days.

I'm intrigued by After Dark, but i know I'm not emotionally ready to read it. Maybe in a few months' time ... maybe.
