RSD ME,
I am so sorry for all you are dealing with.
My mother is 92 yrs old and also has a heart issue...an aortic valve stenosis that is labeled severe and she was told she should have surgery for a new valve because the current one could fail at any moment. She, like your Mom said, No, let nature takes its course, I am too old for surgery. I have come to accept and respect her decision because I have no choice. There are certain things in life you cannot control so try not let it control you ( I know, easier said then done).
Just love your Mom and be there for her because she has made her decision. I know it is difficult but I just put myself in her shoes and I know I would want my decision respected and I Would not want my daughter to be stressed by it.
Prayers being said for your Mom, your brother(we have addiction in our family too) and certainly, God Bless you.
My best,
Diandra
