Had you gone you could have ended up much worse and your step mother wouldn't want that for you. Death in its self is difficult to deal with add your uncontrolable health condition and it is even harder. Notice I said uncontrolable don't feel guilty about something out of your control.
Your step mother was a women of faith and chose prayer as her sustainer. You need to do the same right now. Ask God to cover you with his peace that passes all understanding. You know it works when you live with RSD/CRPS His peace is essential to our ability to cope.
Take care my friend,

Pete...
My heart breaks for you..I am so sorry for your loss..This is a tremendously sad time for you..Please, don't be too hard on yourself as you have alot on your plate right now...You did exactly what your body was telling you at the time and keep your memories in your heart...Many times thru out our lives we second guess ourselves..we care but have to recongize that we have to follow our pain levels and condition at the time..RSD rules when it comes to our daily capabilites...Please, make a donation in your step Mom's memory... hold her love in your heart and speak to her..she is right with you and she, I am sure, understands...as far as others..plain and simple..they don't feel what we do.. our limitations but it does not mean you didn't love her any less...as your broken heart is proving to you right now... Think hard in best to honor her and be at peace with yourself... again..I am truly sorry...
You have us here...Kathy
