Oh my God, I'm so sorry to hear about what's going down with your mom; I can say from experience that yeah, moms are VERY special. I love mine to death, she's been there for me more times than I can count.
I don't think it's bad at all that you took a nap, even a three-hour one. It's been scientifically proven that naps are healthy and can provide a soothing feeling as well as an energy boost upon waking. The fact that you're restless about your mom's situation is justifiable for a three-hour nap; I've had to do that several times over the past week or so. When things are looking really bad or depressing, sometimes a nap is the only thing that give you some peace of mind, despite what many would have you think.
Prayers for your mom right now; I often worry about mine too, she's always alone in the house throughout the week while my brother and I are at work. I can't imagine how lonely she must feel until we come home, especially since my dad is out of country right now. Dad isn't the best of company Mom can keep (long story), but that's better than being alone, at least to me.
I hope your mom sleeps soundly tonight, as well as yourself. Please take care. 🙏🏾
