I started doing it to help me fall asleep and I notice that when I do this breathing a have the urge to sigh. I think that is the sign that it is working.

I am so sad about your mom. I am glad you can be with her during this time and not isolated in a Covid ward. I lost my dad suddenly almost 3 years ago and it never gets easier. There is a huge hole where my heart once was.
