My father passed away last month on Mother's Day after going through Parkinson's and a bout of pneumonia. It has been extremely difficult for me since I'm considered the "black sheep" of the family and am currently isolated away from my friends also.

It appears that you have a lot of positive things going on with your family and they are depending on you to get through it all. Good luck with the gardening and remember that you have to get through things one day at a time.
