This week's guest on How to Move Your Mom (and still be on speaking terms afterward) is @Nancy Noever. Nancy’s mother had for years made it clear that if doctors ever needed to take extreme measures to keep her alive, Nancy was to let her mother go. In early 2020, mom had a massive stroke and, with her eyes, made it clear now was the time to say goodbye. Nancy courageously talks about the struggles she faced in carrying out her mother’s wish.
