But, why can't I be a big enough person to put away my emotional crap  so that I can make someone's last days on earth better?  I will have the rest of my life to sort out my baggage, so why can't I just leave that aside right now and be the kind of person I want to be so that I won't kick myself later?

No one can suddenly resolve their baggage just because someone is in bad shape. That only happens in movies. I think for your mother's sake, don't beat yourself up. That would make you a bigger person if you really want something!

P.S. Don't assume that you'll feel guilty and awful later because you might not. I don't think you need to.
