What a double loss. I’m so sorry! It will be impossible to replace her and the reactions to your writing from other first readers will be very different, but I guess this is a necessary change. Whenever your memoir is finished, I have a good idea to whom it will be dedicated. :-) <br /><br />I hope your brain can clear up soon, so you get to focus on your memoir again. Like you, I’m distracted very easily, especially when important changes and events are happening around me.
