Well Ahna, first of all i am sorry to hear all that. You can't do much in this situation as you are away from home but you can make your mum feel better by talking to her daily, on phone, at least for a few minutes, asking her how she is doing and knowing her routine and all the little things she wants to share with you. I hope she will definitely feel a little better by that. And about your sisters, i am sorry but i feel you can't do much as you stay away from them, if you were with them then you could have tried to make them listen to you by giving them little favours and helping them with their stuff. I hope things will get better once you go back home. Don't be sad, you love them and you care for them that's enough to find the ways to reach them and you'll do that one day :)
