As the "local daughter," once Mom's diagnosis of metastatic pancreatic cancer was confirmed, I toggled between showing up and removing myself from the space as much as possible so that her other children could get what they wanted and needed from her dying process. Out-of-town siblings and their families visited often. Mom's sisters and brother came to town. Each weekend that fall and early winter of 2020 felt like an extended family holiday.
