Doesn't she have any hobbies or other interests like sewing, needlework,
etc.? My mom always kept busy with something. I rarely had to
"entertain" her, even after my dad passed away.

A rather odd thing she did, I thought... As long as I could remember, she
had always gone by her middle name. Shortly after my dad died she began
going by her first name. Curious. Perhaps she was recreating herself.
